Thank you so much for your wonderful and insightful analysis! Undoubtedly, Sir Walter Raleigh (political philosopher, poet, soldier and explorer) was a brilliant and significant contributor to the original ideals of freedom (freedom of expression). Western civilization owes this gallant gentleman (along with his contemporary John Milton) an immense irreparable debt: our freedom! // Muito obrigado pela sua análise maravilhosa e esclarecedora! Sem dúvida, Sir Walter Raleigh (filósofo político, poeta, soldado e explorador) foi um colaborador brilhante e significativo dos ideais originais de liberdade (liberdade de expressão). A civilização ocidental deve a este galante cavalheiro (juntamente com seu contemporâneo John Milton) uma imensa dívida irreparável: nossa liberdade!
George Thomason collected 20000 texts between 1640 and 1660. All in the British Library. Luckily they are all available at my university. We also hold the original collections of a couple of post-Reformation authors. It's great to have two professors on Tudor and Stuart England at the university who have published on this period.
"the medium is the message". I really like Dr. Beer's 'direction' or 'focus'. At first I thought she was a feminist but I quickly realised that she is one of the guardians of the 'free human animal'. We're on the same team! And to spend a whole day with Philip Pullman reading Milton?... oh please. The only thing equal to that for me would be to spend a day with Douglas Adams reading Monty Python scripts!
Agree about Douglas Adams - but I like to think of myself as a feminist AND a support of civil liberties. Indeed the two go hand in hand (spot the reference to the end of Paradise Lost....)
Darting a quick glance at the watch four to five times was arguably de trop. Pursy pedagogues and donnish talking heads can learn from Dr Anna how to engage listeners in a mano-a-mano conversation which edifies, educates, and entertains. Without resorting to the hand-me-down currency of jargon like: zeitgeist, problematize, radicalise, aporia, exegesis, epopee etc. No griot or shaman can hold a candle to her narrative momentum.
I was totally put off by 4:25 when she suddenly launched into feminist revisionist history and started imposing her political viewpoint onto history in that cheap and nasty way feminists always do. At that moment this became not history but propaganda from a feminist point of view which many people, myself included, utterly disagree with.
