He just taught me in 2.5 min what my professor has been "explaining" for the last 3 weeks...I hate college

Thank you for these videos. My professors at school always seem to be determined on making everything sound more complicated than it actually is. We all need this sort of simple explanations.

Tim, thank you for giving a great presentation! They are concise and NEVER boring! Great work!

'Or you can read painstakingly' - Very nicely done! Tim, thanks so much for such a dynamic lesson and highly intoned way of explaining.

[SimAlex]

all literary criticism should be conducted with bow ties. :) and also i love the word "locus."

[kimtal]

I'm a student and we'll be having a discussion about this tomorrow!

This helped me a lot! Thank you Tim! 👏🏻

I called my professor a New Critic. He said "Them's fightin' words!"

[nidalamal]

thank you
i think it's the best short summary of what my teacher said in the lecture

Batman v Superman:
-Tension between main characters (check)
-Unity (Martha?!?)
hmm...

Thank you, this is my second video so far and it is so much more clear to me than the overview that I got from my teacher that was making my brain short circuit.

[PrimeTime]

Thank you. To the point and concise explanation.

I've been reading William Empson and sad to see that no one on YouTube has done a good video on seven types of ambiguity

[wardabenchekroun]

Read closely, painstakingly, you make Value judgement, book has depth, look for tension complexity, book oppose other meaning, well unified, look for what makes the tension, what unifies the text as a whole,

IDK anyrhing about new critisizm but the professor is sooo adorable ❤❤❤

[czarquetzal]

Employment of New Criticism is not about the uncovering of textual meaning embedded in a text but the deeper understanding of literature in its transcendental aspects. Values are apprehended not through the explication of meaning but through the embodiment of its spirit in a disinterested fashion.
