A little update…

[@DrOctaviaCox]

Wow! - I am completely overwhelmed with all these lovely, kind messages of support.

[@Bethi4WFH]

It has been wonderful having the opportunity to access such interesting, and informative, comments and interpretations of books and characters that I have loved for very many years. Thank you so much. You have a lot of interesting, exciting (and exhausting) things happening all at once, and my (grandmotherly!) advice to you would be not to commit to any time scale for the channel……..just do one, whenever, and I am sure your followers will pick up the link with great pleasure. Looking way ahead, one can see that you will not be at a loss for something to do when you retire! With all best wishes for your career and move. Regards and respect from East Anglia.

[@einezcrespo2107]

Congratulations!

[@shafc1285]

You completely deserve it !!!!!

[@macareuxmoine]

That’s wonderful news! All the best wishes for your new endeavors! Don’t worry about the channel! Your back catalogue is so substantial, we can just re-listen to that if we don’t get new material! I so appreciate your input - it’s good to hear that your talent is in demand! 🥳🤗🤩 But I hope we can take this as a promise you’ll be back eventually!

[@jaimephillips1521]

Couldn't have said it better!

[@giannellasanchez]

Congratulations! All the very best for your new plans. I am going to re-watch all your lectures while awaiting new material.

[@katmartin1765]

I rewatch due to the interesting and dense content - it’s wonderful to have your expertise just at a click of the remote!

[@sashap1547]

I agree!!! I’m so excited for new content but there’s so much in the other videos that I really enjoy and will listen to over and over! I have a lot of friends that love watching JA movies and being able to give fun facts that help understand the info better is awesome!

[@marybethpoder6256]

Congratulations! As a part-time professor at multiple schools, I know just how amazing it is to land a full-time position! Thank you for all of the wonderful videos and the time and passion you have put into them. I’m excited for your future students 😊

[@lynneperry7454]

Congratulations- don’t worry, we can still watch your back catalogue and new ones, when you have time, will be a real treat. Thank you so much for all the lovely programmes. Wishing you all the best for you full time job. What lucky students you will have. 👋

[@WTJ97lj]

My love of Jane Austen, and 18C literature in general was instilled by one of the most intelligent and passionate professors I've ever had in my life. You're of her ilk, and I'm happy more students will get to enter the wonderful literary world you create. Amazing news, best of luck!!

[@jenniferdas7809]

Yes, spread the love of Jane Austen far and wide! I also had an amazing English lit prof who gave me my love of Jane Austen amongst other authors and I am so much the better for it!

[@bethanyperry5337]

Congratulations! As the mother of a recently tenured Early Modern English professor in the US I’m keenly aware of how scarce these academic positions are. I will miss my Friday afternoons “with you” very much and will watch for updates ! Best wishes to you! Huzzah!

[@margo3367]

Congratulations! You look so happy. Of course, we’ll support you. I know what it is to change jobs and change locations. It’s a lot. Keep us posted. ❤️🙏

[@ClassyKizzy]

Congrats on the new job! I'm just so grateful for the high-quality literature education you've been giving us for free! I would love to see these once a month, or once a quarter, or once a year if that's all you can do. Thank you so much for working so hard on these videos!

[@rosezingleman5007]

Yes, it’s been a huge improvement over my college experience of English Lit! Thanks so much Dr. Cox. I’ve learned so very much from you. Best of luck!

[@mothmallow]

Congratulations! The most important things are your own health and happiness, so don't strain yourself trying to keep up with videos. Your videos are so well thought out and the quality of the content is excellent, I can imagine how much time and effort it would take to make them. We will all be thrilled when a new one is available, but don't worry about the schedule too much and make sure to put yourself first.

[@DezMarivette]

That is such exciting news! Blessings to you on this new venture and home. Thank you for this wonderful channel, it’s been lovely to do deep reads with you - and now it’s onto a bigger and better chapter! Cheers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jeffreyschindler3417]

Congratulations! I love your channel, your work, and wish all the best to you! I will look forward to your content WHENEVER you can upload!

[@cathryncampbell8555]

Congratulations on your new position. May it be everything you've wanted, and may your new students cherish you as your online viewers do. I look forward to your future videos, and I will re-watch your older ones. Please don't overwork yourself! We all want you healthy, happy and well.

[@FredaM]

I always enjoy your analysis of these classic texts and appreciate so very much learning from you. Best wishes to you and your lucky students in the future.

[@MaryanneNZ]

Hooray congratulations! Also, loving the Strawberry Thief top! There's a bunch of students somewhere about to be very, very lucky indeed. I for one already relisten to your videos when I am sewing as there's always something new to hear and once a month is still a gift to us.

[@anncobleigh]

Warmest congratulations and we’ll look forward to whenever we see your next stellar videos. Wish you the greatest successes!

[@Mutable1]

Ma’am! 🎉 We will be here and we will continue to love the library of material you have already blessed us with. I will miss those arch windows though🤗

[@terrybryce88]

I’m so happy for you, you are a wonderful teacher. I will miss seeing you as often, but I wish you all the best! Thanks for all your hard work on these videos. Jane Bryce

[@whiteroses47]

Dr. Cox, you do what's best for you! As long as you don't stop all together, that would be sad. Your channel is a delight and it certainly does take a lot of time and work to put into your wonderful videos. It truly is a literature education and hearing your perspectives on each of the novels you showcase, well it's not helpful to me but for my family and I intend to join a book club (old-fashioned style) and sharing your views (crediting you and your channel) will add a new perspective to the thoughts of others. Congratulations on your new job!

[@wordsonice8996]

How wonderful! Congratulations and live the dream, Doctor Cox!

[@douglaso6428]

Thank you for all that you have contributed to bringing these works into focus and sparking discussion and thought about them. The world needs the wisdom and insight these novels contain. You have a wonderful library of videos for all of us to watch and rewatch as needed. Now you have to take care of yourself, as we all must, or you won’t be able to give what you give. Wishing you the best! Thank you for your labor of love!

[@elizabethraitanen5057]

I am so happy for you! This is fantastic news! I will continue to watch your videos as I learn so much from them! All the best from me in Canada!

[@byusaranicole]

Congratulations!! Your students are going to love you! Good luck with the move!

[@kkay3784]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! A person like you DESERVES an amazing job. Thank you for everything you have provided my brains. I will, for one, be keeping an eye out for any precious videos you have time to drop, while envisioning a lovely human being in her absolute element as an academic! HUZZAH!

[@pattferrari4542]

I will be HAPPY ANY TIME I see a new offering on my feed! You truly helped me stay sane during the pandemic!

[@morgannabr0021]

So excited for you!! Don't worry about the videos, you've got an amazing back catalogue to entertain ourselves with while we wait for new content. What's more important is that you're happy and balancing your work life well. We'll be okay if we have to wait longer for videos. As amazing as your videos here are, I can't wait to see what you do in the academic world! You're gonna do great!!

[@bethotoole6569]

Congratulations!!! You’re a great teacher online I can only imagine how much better you’ll be in person. Not sure about anyone else but as you post I’ll watch. Real life takes precedence over YT Life. Good luck 👍 👍👍

[@mahtiel]

Congratulations to you! Thank you for all your hard work here on youtube, especially for sharing your close readings of Jane Austen, these videos truly helped me appreciate her more :) I'm looking forward to your new videos anytime you choose to publish them. Please, take care of yourself, take your time to settle into your new circumstances, I don't think anyone here wants you to burn out ;) I hope you have a lovely summer!

[@slpmaterialgirl1]

Wishing you all the happiness life offers. You'll do wonderful at whatever you decide to do. Best of luck and hope we hear from you again someday!

[@birterasmussen9479]

Congratulations. I have had great joy in following your channel. For me It has added so much more to the writings of Jane Austen.

[@kirstenshute2729]

Congratulations on the new position! From what I've heard of your channel, you sound like a great teacher - not just skilled at analyzing texts but also explaining your reasoning. I especially like the Jane Austen videos.

[@anitanalley2417]

Congratulations! I will still re-watch your posted videos. Like any close reading, the listener finds more each time. Thank you for your lectures. They presented a focus on how the author's voice is presented, reliability of character statements...so much that makes Jane a continuing pleasure. Also thanks for poetry readings! Write when you can, get settled into a new life, and we will watch for notifications. Now have a cup of tea!

[@kimfleming5271]

Congratulations! I will miss your weekly videos, they have become part of my regular weekend viewing and I have enjoyed them very much. I will stay subscribed and will happily watch what ever you manage to put out. I love your takes on Jane Austin. Good luck with the new job.

[@amlaihoi]

Congratulations from my heart, dear Dr. Cox! Your thoughts and style are a great inspiration. Each of your videos is like a peaceful refuge. Courage and strength to you at this new phase in life!

[@SUMANnoHADASHI]

Congratulations!!! That sounds amazing! Your videos have been such a joy to watch. I‘m sure your audience will be here to watch however frequently you manage to upload, so make sure not to burn yourself out! I hope the new job will be great!

[@karen517]

Congratulations on the new job! Thank you for letting us know you didn’t just disappear, but thank you even more for all the knowledge you provide. I truly enjoy your channel. Your insights and expiations give me so much more understanding than reading on my own. Never having had a professor focus on close reading, more overarching concepts than word choice, I find your focus on this channel fascinating.

[@Henry-tn1jb]

Well done! Your videos are amazing and eagerly awaited. Totally understand reducing the frequency and looking forward to watching them once a month or however often you can publish them. Congrats on the job!

[@meganvanderlinden6755]

Congratulations on the new position! I appreciate the videos you've provided and look forward to more on any schedule you can manage.

[@annika5893]

Happy for your brilliant news, congratulations! Take your time getting settled in your new workplace and home. I'll be sure to still watch your videos with the new schedule.

[@ramonabryant9130]

Thank you so much for your insight, I’ve loved listening to you!! Best of luck to you in your life’s work!

[@courtjester7778]

Congratulations! I wish you the very best in your new job and house. Any student you teach will be blessed to have you as a professor.

[@caseym9656]

Congratulations! That’s wonderful news. I hope one video a month is a good pace for you. Your videos are so informative.

[@misscarolinasousa]

Dr. Cox, that's wonderful news! Congratulations on your new job, they are beyond lucky to have you. Also, thank you so much for all the time and effort you've put into your videos. As a reader and Lit student they've been invaluable! The way you pull apart layers and layers of meaning in a text, opening a whole new perspective and better understanding for us, is awe-inspiring

[@judiemeierfranz4329]

I'm so happy for you!! I wish I was one of your students. 🙂 As others say, we can rewatch what you've already posted (I already do that). I reread Mansfield Park w new eyes and a more open mind after hearing you speak about Fanny Price. You are an influence for good. Have fun!!

[@shannontillinger4642]

Good for you!! Yours is my favorite channel because it makes me see novels (particularly Jane Austen) that I've read countless times in a new light and has answered some of the questions I've had for years. Thank you for that. Good luck with the move, I hope it goes smoothly and your new job is lucky to have you!

[@krististewartelliott1813]

I'm so excited for you!! We'll be here for whatever you have time for, be it once a month or once every few months! If you wanted to do something less writing and time consuming I think you'd do brilliant vlogs as well. ♥️ All the best with your packing and moving!!

[@dewdan11dnd46]

✨This is such wonderful news. Congratulations to you. The new beginnings you are about to embark on is well deserved and timely. Your content, whether sporadic or, otherwise, is appreciated. All the very best wishes. Thank you 💞

[@twiggyvlogs6441]

So pleased for you! Thanks so much for the videos you make, they remind me of all the reasons I loved studying English and have helped me to engage with texts in a more involved and interesting way. 💚

[@gnomesb]

Congratulations - You're an amazing teacher. Thanks for all your close readings and showing how to do it and how satisfying it is to take a text and go deep rather than fast

[@josie_posie809]

Thank you for bringing such high-quality content. I'm sure your students will be just as grateful if not more. Congrats! I'm flirting with the idea of a pursuing a phd in Lit myself so I'm excited to hear about your journey.

[@rfwoods]

I know this video is a year old but I have only recently found your channel and have gotten so much enjoyment from your Pride and Prejudice videos in particular. I hope you are doing well and will continue to make more videos!

[@Meagan-Renee]

Congratulations 🎉 Your faculty and students are so lucky to have you!

[@kathleenfleming7519]

Congratulations, Octavia!! That is wonderful! I was afraid that you were ending your channel altogether, which would have broken my heart. I am still looking forward to seeing new content from your channel, even if it is once a month! Thank you for letting your followers know!

[@andreafisherwriter]

Oh how I wish i can be in those classrooms...but I am so joyed to study under you - right here - on You Tube, no matter how often (or infrequently) you might post!!!! Congratulations Dr. Cox, this is glorious news!!!!!!

[@HeleddMai]

Huge congratulations to you Dr Cox 🎉

[@khewitt2873]

Congratulations! Very happy for you & wish you all the best.

[@mariedouce7636]

Congratulations on your new job, Dr. Cox! I have really enjoyed your videos and I am sure they take a lot of work! Totally makes sense that you will have to reduce the number you produce. I will definitely continue to watch at whatever pace. Thank you!

[@redandpink219]

Congrats octavia! All the best for such momentous changes. I look forward to your videos if and when you are able to post again. Your back catalogue is a wonderful resource for some of those 'intricacies' of the texts.

[@janicekerkkamp7222]

Congratulations on the new job! I love your videos, and I will enjoy seeing new ones as they come.

[@Mari-ic4zi]

Congratulations! I will continue to look forward to your videos, no matter how frequently.

[@katei6344]

That's fantastic news, Octavia. I'm thrilled for you. And wish you all the best in your new job and home. Your channel has been absolutely brilliant at making me think about the books and issues you have talked about. It's been informative, fascinating and always thought provoking. I am very thankful for what you have done and couldn't be happier for you. I have not seen anything else on KZbin that comes anywhere close to this channel. You have done an amazing thing. Thank you! And wishing you every happiness in all things new. It's so deserved. X

[@girlgenius]

I'm so pleased for you! Thank you for all you've shared with us.

[@merigolde]

Dear Doctor Cox, congratulations! We will be here and will wait for you. Congratulations to your lucky students, I know they will appreciate being taught by you! And thank you soooooo much for talking to us all about wonders hidden in xix century books!

[@sonitagovan]

Congratulations Dr Cox. I love your content and your channel. I am sad we will get less of you but I understand and am excited for you. Look forward to whatever you can manage to put out. Good luck with the new job....wish you much happiness ♥️

[@yunawong8119]

We're so happy for you, and have greatly enjoyed your channel!

[@elizakay5886]

Thank you, thank you Dr Octavia! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and your way of teaching and communicating ❤️ Keep it up! Congratulations on your new job!

[@mitomom4947]

Yay, Dr Cox!! I’m so happy for you!! We have plenty to watch/listen to. No worries. This is excellent news, truly. 💜

[@kevinrussell1144]

Congratulations, Doc. You seem VERY excited by the new gig, so it must be a good one. A polite Englishman would never ask for details, but since I'm American, I'll ask. Is this a professorship, or a research position? We know you can handle either one with grace and competence. And of course, you can just give my query a pocket veto, but so many here have invested so many hours in listening to you (including me), that we're both curious and happy for you. Be well, and best of fortune.

[@flannerypedley840]

Such wonderful congratuations on the new job. so well deserved!!! I think you will find we will be staying loyal!

[@sarahberney]

So so happy for you, congratulations! I'm new to your channel and I've been enjoying your content immensely 😃 we'll be standing by to catch the little gems as and when they fall 💎

[@peggymcginnis4257]

How wonderful! Congratulations! Your lectures are so interesting. I will remain a follower. May God bless you in your new endeavor.

[@wraithconscience]

Excellent news! A most hearty and hardy congratulations to you! Well deserved and well done! Wishing you great, great success! Your videos are of such high quality, that once a month will give much to look forward to. Congratulations and all the best!!!

[@lizziemay4443]

Congratulations on the new job! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself with videos, I'm sure we will all just take what we're given and be thankful

[@jerrikelly9325]

I've only just found this channel so I will have plenty of catching up to occupy me until your next video. Congratulations on your new post, and best wishes as you make this transition!

[@giuliaschabbach]

Congratulations! I wish you all the best in this new endeavour and will certainly keep an eye out for all your videos even if they are not as frequent!

[@sofiatovedal7663]

Congratulations! We'll be here!

[@margarethollis827]

Congratulations and wishes for a smooth move! BYou’ll be a fantastic prof

[@furnessborn]

Congratulations!! No problem with less videos. I love the indepth research on the passages from novels. Being a big Jane Austen fan I enjoy your videos and insight on them. Thank you xx

[@angelamwho]

Ah! Congratulations! That's so awesome and don't even worry about updating every week. You have such an incredible backlog that I often find myself rewatching and relistening to them. I hope everything goes well with the move and the acclimation to your new job!

[@jayne6691]

Fantastic news, congratulations on your new job. I love your videos, especially the Jane Austen close reading ones. It's a pity for us that they will be less frequent in future, but I will still be watching. Good luck with everything.

[@gibbersking6575]

Fantastic! So happy and excited for you, especially since YOU are happy and excited about it. Yes, although your presentation is smooth and almost conversational, you clearly put much work into research and development of your topic and WE THANK YOU. We thank you for treating us with respect and sharing your intellect and talent. I hope your move goes well and that you settle into your new job and digs happily and comfortably. We're here any time you upload or we'll just re-watch what you've created to date with interest! Sending you wishes that the "best is yet to come!"

[@oldmoviemusic]

Wonderful news, congratulations! I adore your videos, they have been special to me since I found them a few months ago, so of course I hope to still see them whenever possible - BUT - one must do what makes one both content and exhilarated, and your joy is plain to see. I will be here for anything you post, be it every month or two or three, and thankful every time.

[@lisamckay5058]

Congratulations!!!! My best wishes to you in your new ventures. I will look forward to whatever you post, as you have time. Take care of yourself, too, though. Change is great but exhausting.

[@8808shasta]

Best wishes on your new academic assignment. FYI I work with special education high school students who need skill support for their literature class. I use your character analysis structure in helping the kids understand the characters life story experiences. It takes time to settle in to your teaching position. Just keep us updated as to your progress in both endeavors. You are a master teacher most appreciated

[@pamelamorgan7354]

Congratulations! I always look forward to your videos! Your students will be so fortunate to have you as their professor! I’ll stay tuned for your videos-no matter the frequency!

[@AbigailG24]

[@DrOctaviaCox]

It's my pleasure Barbara. Thank you for watching. Octavia

[@AMiniki]

Fantastic! Congratulations. And don’t worry about the channel, share with us your knowledge whenever you can and in the best way for you.

[@ittlebitz]

Congratulations, Dr. Cox! This is such wonderful news and I am so glad that you have this opportunity to do what you love. I am such a fan of your videos and will happily rewatch previous videos and wait eagerly for new ones. Best of luck to you in all you do, and thank you for all the amazing videos. You make this literature lover very happy.

[@francespyne7316]

Congratulations. Completely understand on the decreased videos. It has been a great privilege and pleasure to be able to benefit from your knowledge and passion. What ever the amount of videos in the future (even if it is only once in awhile with no set timing) are greatly appreciated.

[@coloraturaElise]

Glad it's good news you're sharing and you're so happy!

[@lisagardner7590]

Congratulations - so well deserved. I will continue to look forward to your videos monthly then - even though I have read these books multiple times you help me think about different angles in them. Thank you!

[@TheTrwebster]

Congratulations on your new position and best of luck! I just discovered your channel and it will take me some time to catch up with what you have done already. Looking forward to more.

[@maureengreen3625]

Congratulations. The quality of your videos is so excellent, it is such a gift to us all. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge.
