A History of Gothic Literature
Переглядів 40 тис.2 роки тому
The Castle of Otranto is considered the first work of gothic fiction due to its establishment of gothic tropes, such as the supernatural, old castles, secret passages, paintings moving on their own, and doors closing by themselves. The latter part of the 18th century saw an explosion of gothic literature. Ann Radcliffe’s works were some of the most popular in the 1790s. Her novels, such as The ...

“Live, Laugh, Love.” This practically overused phrase has become synonymous with motivational cellphone lock screens, graphic tees and the interior decor of suburban homes. The phrase even became a popular meme, as is the inevitability for all expressions. But how did this expression come to be so popularized? The expression is an abridged version of the first line of "Success" a poem by Bessie...

Lovely video
As regards to horror, Ann Radcliffe didn't know what she was talking about.
love ur vids post more PUHLEASEEEEE
thanks for the great video, thisll help me with my castle of otranto essay due next friday lol
I don’t think The Castle of Otranto was intended as a farce. Rather it was harking back to an earlier era where things were less modern.
This was verry good but is this channel dead.
you’re welcome. informative
That wasn’t how The Yellow Wallpaper grabbed me. It seemed like a story about the harm of the patriarchy and the medical practices of the time against a woman’s mental health.

Nicely presented and quite interesting. I would like to see credit given for the artwork that’s used to illustrate the narrative.
The Abbey in The Oakwood, what an amazing painting!
I think the work was morally sound because it shows the terrible end that her selfish behaviour caused. Another interesting aspect of the book involved the popular discussions around whether the novels of the day contributed to the corruption of women, which is an important factor that correlates with today. The novel is now being replaced by television programmes aimed at women. I think it began with-_Sex and the City_ where the women depicted as cool modern women spend loads of money on designer clothes and accessories. The women were all shown to have jobs, but these were seen as "toy jobs." The characters were never seen slaving away at work. They were hardly working but just had lots of disposable income. At the same time, credit to women was extended. It was easy for women to buy beauty items by plastic shop or credit cards. Most women didn't understand the interest rates. They thought what they were buying was free because they didn't actually pay for it. Women were no longer restrained by men who were able to teach them to behave responsibly. Many women went under with crippling debts. The weaknesses of women being exploited by the powers-that-be. The moral centre is the good she gained from her convent education. It is the struggle to stay on the right path represented by the convent and the corruption of her nature by greed that resulted in ruinous debt, and the obvious se*ual immorality. The novels of the day were said to have a hand in creating unrealistic expectations about life. She could have what she wants simply because she wants it. There is no engagement with reason. If you want something in this world, you have to work hard and make sacrifices. Or, just take out credit and spend spend spend. This reinforces the idea that she could have whatever she wanted without consequence. I think Madam Bovary is one of the most unpleasant characters in literature, but there is a sad truth to her. And a sharp warning.
Nice video. Byron was an irredeemable narcissist, especially toward Keats. Edit to add that Woolf was an unpardonable classist. Her use of "underbred" when speaking of Joyce betrays her aristocratic pretenses.
This was awesome. Many thanks for making this. Really thorough introduction and i really reckon ima go check these novels out. Dorian Grey was my gateway novel!!! Looking forward to more releases from your channel!!
A very good analysis! As you talked of Darwin's theory, it reminded me of HG Well's "Time Machine," which, in of itself, is considered to be sci-fi. But, it also parallels Frankenstein and the speculation of how humans came to be through scientific means as you were saying. (Or, in Well's story, what the future might look like as evolution plays out). Just interesting how ideas can bleed so easily throughout the ages and how they are all so intertwined. Some of what Wells includes as Gothic elements are a confined space (underground) as well as feelings of discomfort at the brute-like "humans" living in the underground spaces, much like what one first feels at encountering Frankenstein's monster. Edit: you mentioned "The Yellow Wallpaper!???" Ahhh!!! I just ordered the story not that long ago, as it kept coming up, and I had to know what the hype was about. And I am obsessed!!!! Love that little book to pieces! It was such a short, easy read, too.
Hey this video was great. I was gonna make a stupid video about it but you made a really well made calm and kind video about it. Keep it up!
I read The Devil by Maupassant and i have to say he doesn't have an ounce of imagination needed to write stories. A sixth grader has much vivid imagination than this guy
Not too bad ... Thanks for the upload.
Love your channel, your videos are so interesting 🤍
Hurray, Gothic literature. Something actually Gothic.
Thank you, and what a nice voice you have. If you haven't yet, please consider reading a Maupassant's story available on the public domain: I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would enjoy listening to it.
fascinating
I have read his collected (and translated) short stories twice. They are magnificent. I never know where he will take me. He was my first Bradbury.
Excellent depiction. I wish the well-chosen, hauntingly beautiful artwork had been identified. It contributed greatly to the pathos of Maupassant's struggles.
Yikes dead at 43? He wrote so much.
I'm currently three-quarters of the way through finishing my complete perusal of Maupassant's short stories, and aspects of his personal life and struggles seep through them. I find Maupassant's cynical social stories the most intriguing.
Sounds like a tragedy. I am assuming that if he had lived long enough for psychiatric medications he wouldn’t have suffered so. He was like a drug taking rock star; but instead of syphilis, he would’ve had AIDES.
Lovely work.
Great video, I'd never heard of Maupassant before
The Czech writer Milan Kundera frequently references Beethoven. Clearly, he was fascinated by the great composer. What would Beethoven have to say about the affection and esteem he holds today? For many, it is more than mere affection and esteem for his music; it's love for the person of Beethoven. I almost forgot Kundera passed away just a few days ago. Great video, by the way. I really enjoyed it.
Loved the video. Much admiration from this brazilian to you~
Love your videos
Your narration is flawless. Great video.
It's a computer-created voice. You can buy the program and have your text narrated by anything from a chirpy kid to a gravelly-voiced old cowboy to a Jamaican. If you use a public domain text and few public domain still pictures you can put together a video pronto-presto and start to monetize. The most viewed UA-cam content creators have made in excess of one million dollars. Most make far lea, but they are many of make at least an adequate living off of their videos.
WOW! I am 70 years old, and way back in the mid 1960's I took a French course in high School, because I was lazy. I figured it would be an easy credit, because I already spoke French, as did half of the class! But our teacher caught on early that we were really bored with conjugating French verbs. So she introduced famous French literature into the curriculum. "The first story we'll read" (I can still hear her clearly!) "was written by a young man, who was not at all interested in great dramas like kings and wars, but the small daily dramas of people who made mistakes, due to flaws in their own characters. So, you must read his story 'La Parure' and we will discuss it tomorrow." I read it and was hooked on his oeuvres, and Baudelaire, and Dumas... and the whole gang! Yet this is the first I hear about syphilis, or drug use, or hallucinations that Monsieur Maupassant suffered from. So, a huge thank you, for continuing my education, all these decades later!
Wow! Thank you for the recommendation!
Ether and laughing gas can detach the soul from the body, at which time one can experience one's body as something other than oneself. One's identity at this time is one of pure consciousness. In this state of being, time becomes simultaneous or at least "disturbed," and experiences can double--so one's self-awareness is not in sync with action in the physical world. This can lead to a sense of one's own image living a life separate from oneself. This is an illusion, but if one chooses to experience it that way, one can. It is easy to write off Maupassant's strange awareness as an effect of syphilis, which certainly does effect the brain, and like Lyme disease (another spirochete) can cause hallucinations. However, his interest in drugs and in hypnotism shows that he was also seeking higher or at least alternate forms of consciousness.
O how one's tradition & pedigree of invasion & oppression are born aloft!
A wonderful video, really well explained. I got a lot out of it, and will likely give it a few rewatches. Thank you!
thank you so much for the video!🧡
Excellent video. Ty!
Thanks for the inspiration as I'm adding more books to my wish-list now
I'm stunned that your videos aren't getting thousands of views. They're so well done and interesting. Don't give up, they're too good to not get noticed. ❤
Very good job. . .but fact check: Glenarvon was written by Lady Caroline Lamb, not Claire Claremont.
classic reply guy
this is so interesting!
What's the first Gothic poem?
The Caste of Otranto
@@luigibeyer The Caste of Otranto is a novel, luigbeyer, not a poem.
Stunning job. Just subscribed.
Very thorough. Great work.
That was enjoyable. I think you could have also included the novella 'Justine' by the Marquis de Sade and the novel 'Salammbo' by Flaubert. Talk about heroines in distress!
Thank you very much for this comprehensive review of Gothic Literature.
I hope you are encouraged to keep producing these videos. I love them - thank you.
What a powerful and sad story. Thanks for sharing this. We should all be aware of it - so important to remember and celebrate the memory of creative and victimised artists. You have done us all a great service, thank you.
