You made him live again.

This is SUCH AN INCREDIBLE DOCUMMENTARY!!! It is SO WELL WRITTEN! So many memorable quotes!!! And so accurate. And the narrator’s accent is PERFECT, I love how he says the work “Poets”

I have seen several documentaries about the life of Jane Austen, but this is the first one that explained how traumatized she was by her parents’ decision to leave their home in Steventon and move to Bath. Especially shocking were the way that her possessions were seized and sold without her permission and for her brother and his family to move so precipitately into the parsonage. It’s hard enough to dispose of one’s possessions and move from a home of many years when one is making the decisions, but to have it all thrust on her without warning is truly disturbing! No wonder she wasn’t able to write during this terrible experience! Anna Chancellor has created a beautiful, moving tribute to her great aunt. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

pretty good, enjoyed the camper ride. Don't know where that dreadful soundtrack came from but it needs to return. I thought Malcolm was incredible in the Film and if it wasn't a rigged Satanic hollywood was FAR superior to Hackman's dreary number in french connection. But those S.O.B.'s weren't about to give the award to a english "outsider" Have read Most of A.B.'s works devoutedly. remember enjoying earthly powers while riding in the back of a large army truck thru grimy korea (nasty shithole) it helped! Loved the Classic masterpiece of a movie so much that I stayed +.watched it again. The next day I went back and saw it 2 more times! Something I had never done before or since. Would Loved to have met anthony, we're both irish and english, that combination will make you bi-polar for sure. (if such a thing does exist) thanks so very much!

A good documentary, but interupted by inappropriate adds as ususually. You Tube stop putting horrible adds in the middle of documentaries, movies and songs. It is highly annoying.

I consider Steinbeck as America's greatest literary giant of ethical and compassionate writing. His concern for animals and our oppression throughout history belies a man with profound heart and his morality. He persevered through ignorance and prejudice to write some of the most powerful messages. He was my guiding inspiration through my youth.

He was brilliant 👏 😀 👌

Picture of Dorian Grey is great...loved the movie.

They alwaya go after the young. Sigh

He discovered he was homosexual. I think not. One chooses this lifestyle.

Oscar Wilde could have lived in Paris even as he wrote for the London stage. France has now and then, truly venerated writers. His sexual proclivities would have bothered no one. Privacy is a cornerstone of French society. No one dares to intrude on one’s private life.

Anybody knows what happened to her kids? I hope they have (or had) a great, fun life 🍻

Love Ballsack

Read the Quran before it’s late

The world: "Oscar Wilde, famous gay icon known for being gay" The real Oscar Wilde: *converted to Catholicism on his deathbed, thereby renouncing his lifestyle and turning away from it*

Whisp of a shadow then you are gone . . .

If he was born in 1804 how could he be 6 years old when they sailed to London in 1815 he would have been 9 years old🤔

Virginia Woolf is the very best. I am tired and don't have it now, but she is the very best. Not that it matters, but I am ABD on a PhD that I chose not to complete when I decided that I did not want to spend the rest of my life in the "Ivory Tower of Academia." I am considered an authority on "The Novel" as an art form. My favorite novel is To The Lighthouse. Obvs. Duh. : ) 💚 I am so tired. Thank you, Virginia. God, I love you.

Poor audio quality unfortunately. Narrator sounds like he's in a well.

I never got why Byron was a celebrity of his time - he was a foul man and not very attractive

The interviews with Alice Walker are so wonderful. What a treasure she is...

ANOTHER WILDE DOCUMENTARY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e32tlYyPpsuAnKcsi=ycuSdVKPXEXMZYnd

Surprised there isn't something of Wendell Berry's contributions mentioned in this 3-part documentary.

Why would they say that about Scott Fitzgerald?

How sad😢

Thanks. People of the Abyss was an eye-opener.

Brundy?

I think I like this better than Lucy Worsley's version.

46.20 Thank you for the spoilers, SIR David Suchet. What sort of silly Christian name is Maxim.

The musical background drowns out the speaker.

I love you Anaïs

Jamaica Inn ? So good !

From the description of Charlotte's pregnancy it sounds to me like she suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. "HG". I had it myself which is why the symptoms sound familiar. Even in 2024 ladies die from "HG"

Many people are not skeptical that Arthur Conan Doyle believed he saw a fairy, considering his strong advocacy for spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies photographs. --- I couldn't believe this person can be fooled.

Thank you for this informative documentary. I'm sure many people would be unaware of her tax troubles. Almost unimaginable that she, and clearly a few other successful novelists, were so hounded. Her legacy lives on!

Informative, but terrible sound

I'm about to lose all I've been worthing for and am not in a position to replace the things I've accumulated. I need to learn to let go and be ok.

The kind of “legacy” ,John left behind;is still impalpable to many…

This author has always fascinated me. As he himself said, he wanted to develop a character who used science in place of chance. He was the one author who started the scientific apprehension of criminals through forensic evidence. I would dearly loved to have met him in person.

Up until now I believed the quote was " We are not quite good enough for you Wide, better run up to Oxford" Not that Wilde wasn't good enough for them. These small Innacurruces, are found throughout every biography made of Wilde. But they all add up till you're left none the wiser..

And he played the violin well

Awful background music spoiled it for me .. otherwise an interesting documentary .

Just got delighted to see for the first time ever his works at Peggy’s Guggenheim in Venice. A pretty small exhibition that had such an impact on me and I wanted to learn more about him. What an amazing artist he IS!

0:20 too bad we can hear his words in that sequence from hell to our ears

What would cause a Missourian to become a British citizen? Did he ever explain why he did not return to Missouri?

Beautifully read - clearly and slowly. Thank you.

God, I do so love a British accent.

I liked the music

I love his work. Frank Gruber and Dick Francis are wonderful writers too. Great stuff.
