Sir Bate's lectures are like sermons to my soul. These poets left a blueprint for radical expression they are truly rockstars including Sir Bate. Knowing their stories and works and influence helps me breathe.

The soul of Adonis beacons from afar indeed.
Amazing lectures.
A lovely mind and sensibility.
Sir, your voice is encouraging and engaging with magical charm. ..
A brilliant talk. I'm currently reading systematically the Gothic novels published by Oxford university press and as suspected have found them to be relevant to the present rejiggering of the world system by AI and algorithm rather than sense and sensibility.
Enjoy!
Such a shame for Shelley to be so disregarded, possibly the most underrated poet ever
Byron and Ovid, quietly censored giants in an age of epic hypocrisy.
Instablaster
Ovid in "Medici"...
You are an encyclopedic.
Byron was the eternal teenager who is his own worst enemy.

Why can't the Brits pronounce 'Juan'?
Because Byron liked making fun of them and so called his 'Don Juan' Juan pronounced with a J just to bully them.
Think about the play on words and satire with "Ju an" plus the syllabic count implies its Ju-an and not Juan
Oh but we can. You’re basing a 200 year old poem to say that there are no modern linguistically aware Britons.
Was it really about Byron? With all these huge fragments from jane Austin and whatever... Byron had wonderful poems about love and friendship: where on Earth does the lecturer mention it? What about Byron's political views? Byron had some political as well as artistic disagreements with Wordsworth and Coleridge: why not mention it? What about... well, Cain, Manfred, Prometheus and the significance of these pieces? What about some pieces devoted to Italian history which were perceived as hymns for Italian revolutionary movement? Where is at least something important told here?! And everybody writes - brilliant lectures!
Such lectures are the killing of culture, nothing more.
Its almost like you're suggesting a lecture must detail every possible train of enquiry. Literally any. In picking up a book or hearing a lecture, onus remains on the reader or listener to enquire further.
The information you mentioned, I do not believe, is being censored.
Very strange how twisted social media makes you when it comes to the instant and addictive nature to react.
I wonder what they'll call this age in a few hundred years. The age of stupid problems maybe.
The Age of the Postmodern Moronic Inferno...
