Thank you for this thoughtful analysis.

I think the verisimilitude gained by the frame narrative is very similar to the epistolary format of Dracula as well. Maybe even more so with Dracula, because not only are diaries used, but also news articles, etc.

That’s a very interesting insight re: the link between incest and narcissism.

I have read this poem for over 50 years.I have come to the conclusion the poet recognised there is always someone worse off than him but in the end he didn’t care

There are only two “editions” of Frankenstein. What you refer to as the “second edition” (1823) was merely a reprinting of the rock-bottom-cheaply produced three volumes original into a single and much better quality volume. The text is the same as the original.

This was a great video!! Very informative!

Thank you sir!

Can we buy the Point Blank book here in the US? There's a strong theory that the events of the film after the first shooting are Walker's dying fantasies.

I’ve been struggling to understand the concept, but I think it finally clicked. Thank you!

Amazing video man, this was extremely helpful

Very interesting!! Thank you

So u wouldn't say he is a byronic hero?

Thanks handsome, from iraq 🖤🔥

Thank you for giving a defense of rhyme. Poe must have had a Virginia accent for in his poem “Ulalume” he rhymes ‘sister’ with ‘vista’! I like that!

I'm going to have a presentation on ambiguity, and I was so confused. I had no idea what this word means, even in literature. Thank you so much for making this video. It literally made my day.

I'm making a presentation on fin de siecle and your video really helped me find a path to begin my research--thank you so much!

Thank you so much and, for sharing your knowledge. I love your videos 🙂

Thank you so much it was really helpful 🌸

Super insightful! Felt like I was back in English class, lovely video! I remember reading a biography on Mary Shelley and how -- as you mentioned -- after Percy's death, she struggled securing finances for her son. Her father-in-law Timothy greatly resented her and essentially dangled his estate being passed down to her only child over her head. Timothy would specifically request never see her IIRC. She had to do a lot of 'clean up' and slowly separate herself from Percy's beliefs (including religion) to redeem herself in society's eyes while still praising her late husbands name. I wonder how many of these 1831 changes reflect that, specifically her preface, to help add a layer of separation from her work and the public's perception of her. I swear there were mentions of there being staged productions of Frankenstein during her time that Mary attended. If that is the case, I also wonder how much bleed back there was in the 1831 printing. Or maybe that never happened and I am just misremembering it all as its been too many years since I read this biography haha! :P

I've ordered the book. Love the film and can't wait to read. Lee Marvin was a very charismatic actor.

BCE or AD ?

excellent disquisition. thank you.

great video

i love your channel

The second edition was 1821 being the first ever to name the author. The 1823 is the second ‘English’ edition.

Men don't spend their lives writing sublime homoerotic poetry unless they're sexually attracted to other men.

Thank you sir, it helped a lot

Thank you. From now on I will approach poems with an expectation of enjoying them! I have always tended to focus on trying (and often failing!) to understand poetry.

Thank you for this! Watched this right before my class on romanticism and it was great hearing your reflections before our class discussipn on the poem.

Thank you so much for this! It has helped me study for my Romanticism exam

Brilliant. So lucid!

I'm an English major and your uploads have been and still are very helpful. Although, I wish you would record and post the class where you lecture on Donne's flea! Great channel by the way.

Can't wait to watch tonight. Thank you!

This is an excellent breakdown and a unique perspective. Thank you!

And three--nay, 300--cheers for Donald Westlake.

Keep it up, I learn from you. I am from India, an English literary student. I follow you currently.

When brought to a poem through connection to it and when I add your insight I feel a little less separation and joy in my doubt.❤

Why is Urizen considered evil? It doesn't make sense to me.

Lamb is my favorite author, then Hazlitt. I have everything they ever wrote in multiple copies.

My favorite short work of Lamb's is "Dream Children: A Reverie." I counted the characters in that piece at around 14 or 15 different characters. I'd love to here your take on that. So many characters woven into so short a story, and it's all a dream within a dream within a dream: ad infinitum.

Yes. Is it not interesting that he is sounding like Jung in the phrasing "transcripts, types, the archetypes are in us and eternal....". Carl Jung. 1875 - 1961. So, where was Lamb pulling these ideas of "transcripts, types, the archetypes," and their eternal nature from?

Hey, man. I just wanted to say that your videos are amazing. New South African Fan here. 🙏🏾

Great content sir, Thank you
