Hey Celine. Missed you so much and hope you're doing fine. I love the plotline of Aurora Leigh. Proto feminist works are so amazing because they're ahead of the time. Middlemarch was in my third term. Wasn't able to finish it because of the time constraints but planning to re-start it in January.
It's about damn time Celine! 🤠We've been awaiting the release of your next book vlog with measured anticipation. Seems like forever in the world of RUclips. Welcome back then I like the way you speak in front your bookshelves while leaving the book titles fairly obscure, perhaps some humility on your part. Admirable for sure 😅🤣. I enjoyed your video as usual.
With reference to Michael Paterson's (A Brief History of) _Life in Victorian Britain._ Interestingly enough there is no reference to empire in the index but there is to Engels. There is no chapter devoted to empire either. There is a chapter called Arms & the World - especially pages 296-300 which perhaps reveals your attitude? Perhaps you are saying Paterson has the urge to present the period in the best possible light because he does not conform to a "fashionable hatred of colonialism", and instead simply tells us about it including some of the problems. I can see how you think it might be understood as wrong to present a mainly positive impression of the British Commonwealth during this era but it is plainly and obviously implied that there was indeed much that was positive but that there is plenty of discourse that focuses on a negative interpretation, that no doubt leaves out far too much of the positive. One point may suffice for now: what is the point of taking over a territory (British West Africa, Tanzania etc for example), but not allow your own countrymen to buy and own any of the land? This hardly equates to invading Poland... mm?
When you go deeper into the Sherlock Holmes stories compare the opening pages of The Resident Patient and The Adventure Of The Cardboard Box. Note the uncanny similarities! Was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle plagiarising himself?
Ooo fascinating, I'll have to have a look! (Self)plagiarism was surprisingly common in Victorian periodical fiction, but I didn't know Doyle was prone to it

Sugarcoating colonization is as bad as sugarcoating holocausts. Like did you know Hitler painted landscapes? Aww... what a gentle soul!
Agreed!
