[@misss4355]

Thank you, but i have one question What are the narrative forms of poetry that developed in 12th c France and spread to Britain in the 13th c ?

[@sohaibal-kamal9470]

Thanks for this information

[@juliamrodas]

Thanks so much! I'm actually going to integrate a bit of this into a video I'm making for my English Lit class--I'll be sure to credit your work!

[@adolflenin4973]

You're welcome

[@zeanaemad9065]

Thank you, amazing summery

[@garougarou159]

Dear Zeana, excuse me , but what is the meaning of Unclay? I talk about The novel of Powys "Unclay".

[@Rohilla313]

Good summary but I wish you’d included the humorous genre: Jerome K Jerome, P G Wodehouse, James Herriot, etc.

[@amourakhlifi1332]

Thanks a lot

[@devikaweerakoon6901]

Great... Thank you. Please do more videos on lit.

[@eds2888]

You've done very well in producing these introductory video related to English matters with your elegant accent !! But why haven't uploaded it recently ??

[@thethingsyoushouldknow9628]

Thanks, I'm glad you like my videos. To answer your question: I have focused more on making videos for my students in Norwegian than on making new English videos. I have another channel entirely in Norwegian. However, I might upload new videos in English someday.

[@sif_2799]

@@thethingsyoushouldknow9628 Hello, could you tell me the name of your norwegian channel?

[@unicornhorn6662]

Jane “Ear”?

[@eleonoramustafaeva1303]

Can you continue doing these

[@thethingsyoushouldknow9628]

I would very much like to, but it just hasn't been my priority as I work full time as a teacher, and I have rather made videos for other classes than English (which I keep on a separate KZbin channel since they're not in English). We'll see what happens with this channel.

[@eleonoramustafaeva1303]

+The Things You Should Know Oh, ok. I'm really sad there are so few videos cause they're so cool! But I understand :)

[@ziqingzou8415]

Jane Eyre is a gothic fiction? I''d never heard about that.

[@garougarou159]

Dear Ziqing, excuse me , but what is the meaning of Unclay? I talk about The novel of Powys "Unclay".

Dear Luana, excuse me , but what is the meaning of Unclay? I talk about The novel of Powys "Unclay".

[@MariaFernanda-oh4fr]

Thank you so much! What book from the late 1800s to the present would you suggest for me to do a presentation of?

[@AnaBeads]

I think you should make your choice based on your taste. You could try watching some of the James Ivory's films on Edwardian Britain and chose one of the books the film is based on, for instance, A Room with A View, Maurice, Howard's End.

[@MariaFernanda-oh4fr]
