The Works of T.S. Eliot 10: The Context of The Waste Land

[@charliewest1221]

I'm rediscovering Eliot, thanks to the brilliant exposition of Professor Strandberg. He's the best teacher I've come across on KZbin.

This is a brilliant lecture series, which has helped tremendously with my university studies of The Waste Land.

Brilliant video👏🏻👏🏻

[@danielavecchia14]

Please, where can I find the file that is mentioned as included in the lectures?

[@SomeKindOfThing]

daniela vecchia you mean the poem?

[@TheRealGranted]

@@SomeKindOfThing At roughly 22:18, Professor Strandberg refers to a file that is included with the course; however, I haven't been able to source it either. The Duke University website does not have any reference to it and merely refers one to this KZbin lecture series.

Wouldn't Inanna be older than Thammuz?

Spetacular lecture.

[@BNardolilli]

Judging by the look, is this the point where the prof becomes a cult leader?

[@charliewest1221]

No. He's just a brilliant teacher, so difficult to find in these days of fancy intellectual footwork.

Speed to 1.25 for better listening--Victor's a bit slow as a speaker.

I'll stick to the deliberate, gravely voice, choosing his words with great care. 👍🏻

@@TheWhitehiker When you rush to knowledge, you can easily miss the richness of the journey, or even miss the point entirely.

[@theotheoth]

It's like reading great literature. Some books you just cannot scan down the page. Some are written to be read slowly and deliberately, perhaps even pausing for a moment at the end of a sentence. (I suggest you pause before responding.)

[@theotheoth]

Although, if you don't already know all that, what the hell are you studying Eliot for?
