I am so very impressed with your videos and appreciate all of the information. I never studied literature, so it is all new ot me and very interesting!

looking forward to your forward journey as you've outlined it. Hermeneutics - the only game in town!

The PhD comes first - do whatever you are comfortable with.

Hi Laura! I hope you are doing well. The future of your channel sounds interesting. I do enjoy your topics regarding classic gothic literature genre. Have a great day!

Peter C Newman in Here Be Dragons distinguishes the difference between Journalism and Creative Non-Fiction. It seems he's familiar with this vids' topic. That's probably why he's such fun to read. Cheers!

I love, love, love A Christmas Carol. It was one of the most impactful films I grew up with (I was raised on the 80s tv versoion with George C. Scott as Scrooge). I’ve seen every film adaptation. I’m finally beginning to read Charles Dickens’ works. He was very tongue in cheek! The start of A Christmas Carol is actually pretty funny. I’m listening through the audiobook. I love how often the films quote it directly. Have you read Jane Eyre? That is another wonderful gothic novel. It got me into wanting to delve into reading the classics.

I love this book! I was inspired to read it after watching the film that came out in 2012, and being really impressed (and horrified) by it. I often look for the books connected to movies I enjoy, and I absolutely LOVE everything about this novel. As Susan Hill said herself, it has all of the ingredients of the perfect ghost story. I love that she keeps just enough mystery to add a spooky thrill to it. It reminds me of The Haunting of Hill House, which is another favorite book of mine. There were some moments that were genuinely terrifying. I also love how she wrote it in a Victorian gothic style. I enjoyed this book so much that I’m already reading it again after finishing it only a few days ago. This time I’m marking some favorite passages with a pencil. Edit to add: the book has really beautiful descriptions and a wonderful flow to it. I think it’s one of my new favorites. I don’t know if you watched the film yet, you said you were going to. I think Hammer was very creative in how the film was made, especially how they dove deeper with the horror and explored some of the themes only hinted at in the book. They did very well with the deep, seething hatred that the woman in black had. I really thoroughly enjoy both the film and the book, but for different reasons. They feed each other well.

Interesting deep dive in all the relevant topics! Grüße

This video was awesome, thank you for this! Fantastic analysis. What a revolutionary mind H. G. Wells was. I will have to give this a read!😊

Do you have a sense of whether Wells' other works are as pessimistic as 'The Time Machine'? It struck me whilst listening that, for such a popular writer, his most famous stories are surprisingly bleak.

Great video. You've convinced me that I need to revisit a book that I last read, well, long before you were born! 😂

Thanks for the video. I only knew the writings on Hegel and Hölderlin but I'm curious about the aestetical character of literature. There's people like Arthur Danto who claim that art is not grounded in its aesthetic quality anymore since readymades and so on. Therefore it has to become reflective in order to survive. Literature would face the same problems if you open it completely up towards other arts. You could then argue against szondi, as others did, that poetry as conceptual literature is the adequate art of our time, precisely because it doesn't rely on an aesthetic quality. So szondi is trying to revive aesthetics during a time when the other arts are trying to overcome it. I wonder how he would respond to that

Whatever an Odradek is, I want one 😃

Happy new year, Laura!🎇🎆🍾

Frohes neues 🎉

Does Schleiermacher means “veil maker?” … would I be able to say “Fritze Veilmaker erzählt gern Tünkram.”=D

Is the word linked to “Hermes,” god of communicating and lies and merchants? Among other things

I hope this channel will continue, because I find it really interesting ! I would be glad to see the analysis (if the video is not made yet) of Northanger Abbey of Jane Austen and how the satire of the gothic literature is made, which stylistic et thematic features are used to imitate a gothic novel and which are used to break the gothic atmosphere of the novel. Which lead me to a question : I'm french, I started to read Jane Austen in english, to read her on her own words and to avoid searching good translation (in exemple, some publisher use the translation of Sense & Sensibility in french by a Swiss noblewoman De Montolieu, which is known to not be totally accurate, only because it is now free). I want to read other classics of the english literature too. In France (maybe in Germany for classics in german too) some french classics are published in a modernized french, like novel from Rabelais you can find in ancient french or modernized french. Rabelais is really an old author, compared to Jane Austen so maybe my question will not be pertinent, but I was wondering : if I read her novels in english, do I read it like she wrote it, or in a modernized english ? I didn't found information about this topic and was wondering if with your background you had more information about it.

Thank you so much for this video! I asked you a while back if you could do a breakdown of Dickens as a Gothic author and this is perfect 😊 this has definitely inspired me to read more of his works and view them through a gothic lens. I'm reading A Christmas Carol again now, and am going to read The Cricket on the Hearth next as per your recommendation for Christmastime reading. Then I'll have to pick up Bleak House! Merry Christmas Laura 🎄🎁

This is so great! Thanks for sharing.

Damn, I never would have considered Dickens a Gothic author but you're making perfect sense. I'm glad you popped up in my recommendations, this video is great ☺️ I have a lot of interesting thoughts to mull over now. Thank you! edited to add: Miss Havisham is, I think, an example of turning the goth button up to eleven and breaking the knob off, lol. She reads almost as a parody of Gothic fiction.

Oh wow, what an interesting channel you have. I'm glad RUclips recommended it. Since you're always looking for recommendations on Gothic Authors I feel obligated to mention a few of my favorite independent publishers which specialize in translating previously untranslated works from around that period, many of which are Gothic (or Decadent, Symbolist, or Romantic). I will add a few of my favorite books from each publisher but honestly their entire catalogues are amazing and entirely devoted to hidden gems. Wakefield Press - The Book of Monelle, Samalio Pardulus (this is the most Gothic one I mention from this publisher), The Conductor and Other Tales, The Cathedral of Mist. Snuggly Books - collections of Jean Lorrain and Jane de la Vaudre or really anything translated by Brian Stableford (both of these are), he has many collections he translated that are published by Snuggly Books and the next publisher. Honestly I would look into Brian Stableford because he is one of the best living translators of these kinds of work in my opinion. Dedalus Books - this publisher has many short story collections which focus on Decadent and Gothic tales like "The Dedalus Book of Decadence: Moral Ruins" and others that focus on specific countries like "The Dedalus Book of English Decadence: Vile Emperors and Elegant Degenerates". They also have my favorite translations of Gustav Meyrink's works like The Golem, of course, but also his much lesser known works like "Angel of the West Window" which is probably the most difficult book I've ever completed but it was worth reading every page. It's about a man who begins to, while living, have his ancestor, the one and only John Dee, reincarnate inside of him. It's a deeply Christian Occult and Gothic work set among the streets of Prague like most of his books. this is just a small selection each publisher has countless amazing works to check out, almost all written between 1850 - 1920.

I basically see 80's goth muzak as an extension of psychedelia, just made at a time when people had less hope

This is amazing

Omg Grrl! The algorithm just gave me this site! Something I'm sure I'll be thanking serendipity for for a very long time. By my formulation, "exegetic standards conscript dramaturgic choice', one could repeat the Bible's creation story Once upon a time Someone went to no trouble at all to make a real cool place for people to live: a) everything was just peachy until some woman didn't do as she was told. b) everything was just parochial until some woman talked to a stranger. c) not much was happening until some woman decided to embrace her ignorance rather than simply endorse it. I get the most giggles from the c's when I tell that story, a lot of giggles from the b's and resignation in some form or other from the a's. A rhetoric and hermeneutic in a resonant interplay? Thanks for referencing Kathy Eden

If this is related to the Tolken drawing of smoug, I have that as a tattoo! Impressive rendition for it being so small!

This is really wonderful and honestly the best video I’ve seen on the early history of Visigoths and Ostrogoths, as well as diving deep into the architectural elements. Thank you for your significant research into our subculture and where the term comes from.

Excellent! Would love to hear Gadamer on rhetoric and hermeneutic interaction. Here’s to a part two!

I am looking forward to part two. Thank you for taking the time to give us this overview!

Nice listening, but you reading from your script the entire time is distracting :v

Thanks, Laura 📚🙂!

I absolutely love this, thank you so much.

I freaking love this

I loved learning about this. Thank you and keep up the good work ❤❤

Enjoying the story! You have a couple retakes at 16:17 by the way

I'm looking forward to join the festival next year as you gave such an interesting summery of it ! Thank you very much! Can't wait for your next blog Marina

I would have enjoyed this more if it didn't include AI 'art'
