This was basically my experience with Gawain the Green Knight, despite loving it and the professor teaching it. Zoom classes go to hell.

Thanks for sharing. I want to get a phd in literature at some point, so this video is pretty interesting.

Sounds like a very interesting class. It should have just been called Gothic Literature of (years of victorian) The concept of space in the Gothic novel would make a huge difference in understanding it's use. Heck, I'm ready to get copies of your materials and study them myself.

The papers section was fascinating! I love Jane Eyre (I also love Wuthering Heights and really like Agnes Grey - the rest I haven't read yet), but the ending always felt weirdly off. I loved Jane's independence-seeking freedom, but then the ending was so conformist, and I found it a difficult pill to swallow that Jane used her freedom to go back to the female mould.

Hello~ I found out about your channel from Luminous Libro. I am so happy to hear you hated Heart of Darkness. It is a book I just recently read and the ending just killed it for me. I thought it was weird before that, but what was that guy thinking at the end. (I don't want to put any spoilers, so I'm trying to be vague).

Just discovering your channel! Love this genre of literature and considering going for a PhD! Where are you getting yours?

[richardstange]

Your professor should have started with The Castle of Oranto. That’s a great book and better than The Mysteries of Udolpho (a book that I feel that literary history vastly overrates).

I read TMO Udolpho & N Abbey back to back for Febregency 2021 *loved* TMOU go figure! & thus began my love/ forray into the 18th C however.. sadly found NAbbey utterly forgettable 😐 tbh not sure Austen is for me 🙅‍♀(still to read P&P though). Planning a *very* gothic AW 2024 all the way through to Victober (technically spring here in Cairns Oz). Im considering removing Dracula from the unhaul bag after this (not great first time round) & yes to trying Baskervilles 😉👍🙂

Amazing studies. You way deserve all the initials behind your name! 🎉Know I would have checked out way sooner. 🙃 Say a person __ me. Has not yet read the N. Abbey or the Radcliffe story. Which one would you recommend for reading before the other? Since I now have the choice. Both books on the bookshelf.
Enjoyed video. 💐
