When the government stepped in, it was often to fan the flames. Some seventy-five newspapers and magazines were banned from the mail and forced to close. Self-appointed vigilantes executed tens of thousands of citizens’ arrests. Courts threw thousands of people into prison for opinions they voiced-in one notable case, only in private.

The paintings by William Holman Hunt and John William Waterhouse on this theme are very famous. For the Pre-Raphaelites, as for Tennyson, the Lady of Shalott was a symbol of the condition of the artist, stuck in the tower of academic conventions, and yet willing to break free, even at the cost of his or her own life.
