A discussion of modernism from the online course Classics of American Literature: T.S. Eliot, taught by Duke University English Professor Victor Strandberg.
Loved this part: W B Yeats said: ‘rhetoric is a quarrel with other people, poetry is a quarrel with oneself’…he was not the only one to come to this perspective, William Faulkner in his Nobel prize acceptance speech said: ‘the human heart in conflict with itself is the only thing worth writing about’.
Thx a million, all your lessons are clear and very instructive. It does help a lot !

I’m so grateful for your presence sir. 🖤
Excellent lecture sir. Love from India 🇮🇳
¡Excelente! Great teacher. Greetings from Lima, Perú.
Excellent,I like it very much, eye opener, indeed,.
Again, thanks for these lectures. Btw, I'm also Peruvian. Maybe all Peruvians are TS Eliot fans? That seems a little hasty.
