big thanks i needed this

Thank you! Very well summarised and analysed :)

Very engaging and informative.

Thank you for this

Hi Jen, just wanting to come and say thank you for how much help you have given me in all of my english lit mocks, and eventually the real exams the next coming year. I was just wondering if you were going to do a video on ‘remains’ for the power and conflict anthology, as i noticed that one was missing from the Power and Conflict playlist. A big thank you for all your help, i was able to get a 9 on my last mocks due to how great your hard work helped me!

Excellent analysis 🎉

Very powerful points, I appreciated this!

That was absolutely brilliant - your analysis and argument. [She is my favourite poet.] I shall certainly sign-up for watching your other videos. The only sad thing, in my opinion, is that we HAVE to do this [especially with poetry and modern art] nowadays to show we have some sort of academic understanding of the work. We can't just say anymore I like this or I don't like this without justifying why; or, it moves me, it leaves me cold. The other thing is, 'art' really should stand alone - and in the old days did. We know all about artists' lives now and start to inject that into their writing or music or art. And we don't have to go back hundreds of years - just think, the moment Ariel [as an example] hit the bookselves back in 1965 the poems were read by people [including myself - I was 13] who knew nothing about Otto or Ted Hughes because that wasn't out there in the public domain yet. So one read the lines and absorbed the images with no way of alluding to how she was treated by her father or husband. Yet, that seems now to be a pre-requisite to understanding her meaning! But it shouldn't be. Now we are looking for meaning [or reading meaning into!] people like Roald Dahl, because we are finding out all these things about his private life, philosophy and politics and because we find them unpleasant then inject that into his words or want to cancel him - yet a few years ago [when we knew nothing about his private life] we called him the greatest children's writer ever!

really love this, going into year 12 so thanks for the good head start!

Beautifully explained❤

Thank you so much for this video!! It helped me greatly!!

you are so eloquent and intelligent, it is absurd

great video

Hi, I really enjoy your videos, can you add a video for the medieval time period, restoration, neo classical period! Along with major themes we see during the respected time periods. Thanks!

The Allman Brothers wrote a song called Desdemo. Very soulful.

For me, it's the fact that Nick had always been alone be it romantically or platonically. He seemed to have been an only, we never heard anything of his mother (so she may've died early in Nick's life) or other, more immediate cousins (just aunts and uncles). Then WWI came about and, if you've heard of "All Quiet On The Western Front", it was RUTHLESS with the vets. There's also the fact that Nick was supposed to have had a roommate until something happened that led Nick to live alone with his Finnish maid (who he seemed to have had a hard time conversing with due to language barriers). His own dog even ran away! Mix all that along with that girl back in the West, that secretary with her over-protective brother along with Jordan and Gatsby, Nick's life was mess. A lonely mess.

Hi! Your poem analysis videos have greatly helped me in my University Exams. I want to request that you please explain David Hume's essay, 'On The Standard of Taste'. As a bilingual student, the essay is readable, but I find it hard to understand.

Hi jennnnn🎶🎶.I got my gcse results today and I got grade 9 in my eng lit papers 158 out of 160. Massively appreciate and enjoy all of yr videos, and I am planning to do a level English lit as welll, so I think we will continue our journey in searching for the splendidness of English literature❤❤❤❤❤❤

20 mins until my general english external exam literally a life saver ty 🙏🙏

i just wanted to say that thanks to you i got 9 in my gcse english literature getting 153/160 and your videos really helped me

This is amazing as always, thank you!! I’m reading Mrs Dalloway as summer reading for my English degree I start in Sept; I’m really enjoying the rich imagery and stream of consciousness style, but boy is it hard to read 😳 I know its purposefully confusing to reflect the natural flow of the complex and nuanced thoughts of the characters but its taking so long to get through!

You gave so much context to the subject, that it really helped me understand how the different theories can be utilized for better comprehension. ❤😀👏 Thank you.

thank you so much for making these videos they helped me get my A* in English lit - it helped me understand how to analyse Shakespeare and come up with my own ideas

I became a big fan of your videos! Your eloquence is the best at it's grace and dignity! Great analysis!❤

🔥🔥

I love this! Jen, since you are literally (pun intended) my favourite literature youtuber can I please ask for middlemarch content! i’m reading it for uni, love it so far but i’d love to hear some of your takes on it

Loved this. Thanks for sharing.

I've always wondered how much of this epiplexis was a genuine and spontaneous utterance, and what is a show for Horatio's benefit.

She is amazing. She deserves so so much credit!

This is the best breakdown of this book I’ve seen so far. Wow 🤯

hi Jen, I just got my a level results back and got an A* in literature! I was really expecting an A or B but I'm convinced your videos were the reason for such a surprising outcome, so thank you so much :)

Hi, can you post a video for tips on alevel coursework for English. Specifically on high level analysis techniques of quotes- any example from virgin suicides would be really helpful. But generally would be really good please

Very good stuff. Underrated channel.

Very interesting!

I love how you touched on how an initial degree in the humanities doesn't have to immediately lead to a job; nor does it have to box you into a handful of careers. Some people (particularly those in a specific field) really need to hear this!

Thanku so much ! The way of understanding was good 👍

It seems lit theories assume literature as a given. But surely there must be a theory that explains what literature itself is - in a similar way evolutionary theory explains what evolution is, as well as the history of evolution in our planet, rather than limiting itself to analyzing specific cases.

This saved me frfr💯

Thanks Jen ❤

Jen, you are the reason we fell in love with literature in high school. Please make a video about how to write an essay in college or anything related to literature in university. We are so stuck right now 😭

Hello Jen!

Thanks a lot.

I think sympathy has to be tempered by the fact he was an achitect of this system and the fact he was willing to stand by and let his wife take out her rage for his actions on Offred as he had previously with the woman before her.

this video was really inspiring!! would love some more videos on uni content :)

As someone going into a lit degree next year I needed this!

Amazing explanation! Thank you so much for making this video ❤

Thank you for helping me write my AP Lang summer essay 🥺🥺🥺

Thank you ma'am for such detailed explanation. Continue making more videos like this.❤❤❤

This is the first of your videos I’ve seen, and it was awesome! Will definitely be watching more. I’ve always had a general understanding of Modernism, but this video gave me some much-needed perspective and clarity.
