      2 minutes in, and poor Lola is so distracting. I don’t blame creators when there’s background noise, such is life. We have schedules and things happen. But I just want to pet Lola so she doesn’t feel so lonely or distressed he has to wail. Of course Ruby’s family takes good care of her, this is not meant to be disparaging in any way.

    We take books so much for granted! Imagine them being brought to our time and seeing e-readers with hundreds, maybe thousands of books in one small device. And many classics even being available for free. They'd probably faint!

    You know Ruby, before I started watching you my interest in classics was quite low, but now that I have watched you for over a year and a half, i know so much! I love books more than ever and I love learning about the Victorian period! This year in our english class we studied an extract of Wuthering Heights and I was so excited, which I don't think I would have in normal circumstances. So I just want to say thank you so much for inspiring me and so many others and keep doing what you're doing!!❤️📚

    Just a couple of friendly pronunciation tips - the u in ”cuckoo” is an ”oo” sound (long in American, short in British pronunciation), and the z in Karamazov is not a ”ts” sound but z as in ”zap”.

    I grew up on Pilgrim's Progress. I remember the imagery to me seemed very vivid and memorable (scary). My dad read it out loud to us a couple times (which I'm sure helped on interest). I never read it myself. I also know it was more modern English version. We were also of a strict Protestant background, heavy in theology and Church history, so it was not merely fiction to us. And when you hear/read something as a child it leaves strong impressions plus you have nostalgia. Some books just don't hit the same if you read when you are older (this is fluffier obviously, but for example, I feel like I missed the Nancy Drew train, I just don't think I could really appreciate them as an adult as I don't have the nostalgia for them). Also so much of the imagery is used in, for example Little Women. That also reinforced the memory on me.

    You seem to quite like birds, so I may suggest to you "How To Be A Bad Birdwatcher" by Simon Barnes. It was the book that helped me go from liking them and their song when I meet them to knowing how to take full enjoyment of birds and nature.
    One of the key things he outlines is getting some binoculars and a field guide. I find the RSPB does both well.
    Today I was out birdwatching, and I identified Greenfinches for the first time. I also saw Egyptian swans, some Grey herons, and shelduck. Bird watching is an incredibly restorative and nourishing hobby, and I think you would very much enjoy it.

    Loved this video, the Brontes books were the ones the got me into reading classic literature and my favourite book out of them all definitely has to be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I recently bought The Tales of Angria by Charlotte Bronte and its based around a world that her and her brother Branwell created when they were young and I haven't read it yet but I thought I would mention this book as I feel like people don't really mention this one and there a lot of people who haven't heard of it . I really enjoy watching your videos because they are so unique to what anybody else on this platform is doing.📚📚📚

    Captivating is not exactly the correct descriptive adjective for this video but it’s close. Your discussion of how the Bronte’s writing was influenced by their access of period books was quite revealing and insightful. I’ve only recently finished Wuthering Heights and the comparison you make of King Lear’s temperament is surely reflected in Emily’s character, Heathcliff. Yesterday, I began Villette and hope to read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall before the year is over. Thank you, Ruby, for a fine analysis of the effects reading had on the works of the Bronte sisters.

  • @curtthegamer934
    @curtthegamer934 Рік тому +3

    I must have different taste, because I always thought The Pilgrims' Progress was epic. In all fairness though, I did also read a lot of adaptations of it around the same time as well (my mom thought I couldn't understand a lot of the archaic language in the original, and she may have been right, but it's still fairly understandable), so that may have been contributed to how epic it was for me, because of the details the adaptations chose to focus on.

    OMG KING LEAR IS MY FAVOURITE! Currently doing it as an alevel English lit text and it is my favourite text that we study. Like the way that you can keep looking at it in so many different ways and explore new ideas within the play and never run out of things to kepe explor8ng an debating because so much is ambiguous and can be looked at in so many different ways more so than other Shakespeare works.
    The ending has been described by O’toole as “the biggest but in theatrical history” because of the tragedy of corellas death and the idea that it fails to satisfy a moral ending that the subplot gives.
    Also King Lears “let not women’s weapons stain my manly cheeks”- has been interpreted in different ways, but one of them is by a critic called Rutter who basically says that Lear is “efeminised” and the drama of this line, the imagery and the absurdity shows his fall from power because he is taking up a female voice, while General and Regan adopt the male voice along with the power of the kingdom. It shows the disorder of the kingdom and the social order of a feudal system flipped on its head. Because lear has no power with his words anymore, he has to curse and ramble. It also likely reflects Jacobean ideas towards women and could be seen to be ridiculing that or supporting it depending on how you look at it.

    Judith Sloman wrote a good book about how children's literature of the time didn't talk about children's emotion or experience, which accounts for the way Jane Eyre is closed off. But like you mention, there's also the influence of fantasy on the children in the novel. The Brontes in Context also has a good chapter on their literary influences, how they read a lot of gothic stories and german novellas which shaped their writing, especially in Wuthering Heights. Children of their class had literary annuals every year for Christmas, which had a lot of illustrations and focused on stories of romance, courtship and female friendship, which would have shaped them from childhood. You can get both these books quite cheaply second hand.

    Yes, cuckoos are not kind to our native birds, but as you say it's nature and nature is raw in tooth and claw. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of birds in and around your garden that you're not currently aware of. Definitely the usual, bolder robins blackbirds and blue tits but also finches, wrens, thrushes, corvids, raptors and waterfowl - if there is any water nearby. You'd probably need a RSPB book in order to identify them though if you're not very familiar with birds - and binoculars to see the shy ones.
    Contemplating picking up King Lear to reread after your passionate review, this was an interesting, insightful video with some depth. Thanks Ruby. X

    I think Lockwood's "incoherent threats" are compared to Lear's
    "I will have such revenges on you both, That all...
    That all the world shall-I will do such things-
    What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be
    The terrors of the earth!"
    In both cases, the threats are desperate but completely ineffectual, since neither has the power to wreak any revenge. In Lear's case, the effect is pitiful, in Lockwood's, comic - Emily Bronte's grim humour!
    Enjoying this video very much!

    Hey Ruby, have you ever read a book by W. Somerset Maughan? I like his books and I was wondering what you think about his writing.

    Hi Ruby, which music/song do you use for your video? They are very relaxing and calm. I want to use your video music as the background sound for studying. 💗

    I am reading Jane Eyre for a university class and I have to say it’s one book you can’t read through a modern lense I keep having to catch myself.

    I feel a completely new vibe with the video and I love it, especially you being seemingly more confident about talking about you being a feminist.

    I just got the book The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia by Samuel Johnson -- the book that Helen Burns was reading when she and Jane Eyre first met!
