🖋️ Rambler 04 - The Modern Form of Romances Preferable to the Ancient - March 31, 1750 - Dr. Johnson

🖋️ In "Rambler 04," dated Saturday, March 31, 1750, Dr. Samuel Johnson embarks on a compelling discourse contrasting modern and ancient forms of romance literature. Johnson, with his insightful and critical eye, delves into the evolution of the romance genre, advocating for the superiority of the modern form. He explores how contemporary narratives, in contrast to their ancient counterparts, offer more relatable characters, realistic plots, and moral lessons pertinent to his era.
Kurt Bell, born in 1964 and a profound thinker in his own right, takes us on a journey through Johnson's analysis. In this episode, Kurt intertwines his experiences and literary reflections from his books "Going Alone" and "No More Looking Out For Number One" with Johnson's critique. He draws connections between Johnson's perspectives on literature and the ongoing evolution of storytelling in our times. Join Kurt as he navigates through the intricate landscape of romance literature, bridging the gap between the 18th-century insights of Samuel Johnson and the contemporary understanding of narrative art.
