When the barkeep called time he would also ring a bell.

Impressing. Thank you for sharing. It's enlightening.

Thank you sir. You actually instilled the confidence in students that what you are going to teach to them is something that they are already familiar with. Also you made them think about the topics. You are right. The students should do several activities like this and travel along with the professor. A very nice insight! Thanks again!

Thank you Victor

Excellent series. Thank you kindly.

Outstanding!! Thank you professor

Thank you for your videos! I've enjoyed all the information greatly.

Feel like my version differs at points? No wrinkles female breasts or dugs?

The classical elements air earth water and fire make more sense to the contemporary mind if we see these as states of matter: gas, solid, liquid and the transfer of matter (fire), fire resulting in pure carbon, water and carbon monoxide

This video is all about james and what he thinks. I wish he talked more about the imagery and symbolism in detail.

It seems there is a consensus that the poem has a lot to do with Prufrock wanting to make a proposal to a woman, but I keep asking myself how can we be sure of that? Is it the only logical inference from the little info we are given? Is it necessarily the case?

Thank you very much for this lectures. I congratulate you from Brazil.

This is a treasure. Thank you, Dr. Standberg.

I wish we could have more literature courses. You are an excellent professor.

Interesting how blatant antisemitism is overlooked by fanat progressive-leftists. Compare to total obliteration of past slave-owners.

Thank you for your efforts, a great introduction

I really appreciate your generosity in offering this course online. Thank you so much!

Thank you that was incredible !

“If we follow the Hindu commandments”…. Sorry, but Eliot was a professed Christian. Write your own poem if you feel that strongly about it. Don’t shoehorn your beliefs into Eliot

I notice this tendency for reviewers to write in their own religious interpretation of Eliot but rarely taking him at face his own beliefs… beliefs that he was very much steadfast with

Am interested

Thank you for a grounded and amazing analysis of T.S. Elliot's work!

1. It is an honour listening to Prof. Standberg. 2. Close caption at 2:14 is brilliant. :)

Best analysis I've found so far. This is such a dark poem...love it.

This is so well explained and devoid of all the usual waffle associated with literary criticism.

Dear Professor, - many thanks for your wonderful lectures, - I learn so much. As a musician, however, I must bring to your attention that the words from Wagner’s ‘Tristan’ in the first part are not spoken by Tristan to Isolde, but are the sarcastic remarks addressed to Isolde at the very beginning of the opera, by the Sailor (Seemann). Therefore, the translation of ‘sweetheart’ for ‘Kind (child)’ is inappropriate. Forgive my Beckmesserian correction.

A great teacher!

Sir, You're an amazing teacher. Thankyou very much:)

Is it me, or is this professor scrumtious?

Hello, great session. Where can I get access to all the documents and resources you have shared? These would be super helpful for me

great

Fragmentation. Not a thorough analysis of poem needs more deep penetration into the split personality of Mr. Prufrock.

What an excellent and insightful talk. Thank you!

The real question is, are you still paragliding/paramotoring?

nice lecture great information especially for those who just began reading and discovering the Chat GPT.

thank you thank you thank you! this was amazing

Thank you for this

I feel sure that Eliot is talking about running into Bertrand Russell in Concord -a familiar compound ghost. They lived briefly with Russell who had an affair with Eliots wife -read it with that in mind, and how he gave Russell a piece of his mind in that brief encounter. I don’t understand how Eliot scholars didn’t pick up on this immediately.

fantastic series !

These are very enlightening! :D

Awesome! :D

Thank you, profesor.

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’.

Impressive, joining Duke University now

This course was the bomb! Almost no one got to the end, but who cares? It was an adventure! A Challenge! And I got a lot of great ideas!

Thank you for imparting your valuable knowledge and wisdom to us Professor!! You're a real saviour! Thank you so much 😊

Very enlightening commentary. Although I will say that the aside about his “anti-semetism” was completely unnecessary. It’s far more interesting to hear about the poem itself rather than modern political ideology.

Thanks

Thank you so much for a great series of lectures.
