Love Dr. Cornel West and the depth of intellectual critique that simply rolls off his tongue is brilliant. This is honestly some of the most inspired critique of Emma I have ever heard.
Its pretty amazing to hear Dr west talking so knowledgeably on literary matters. I saw a pretty impressive list of books he thought were 'great reads' on his twitter too. I was impressed with gravity's rainbow being on their in particular
Wonderful people like West remind me why I chose to study literature/humanities in the first place. Even if I'm not that big of an Austen fan myself, it's impossible not to be touched by how loving and thoughtful his approach is.
I didn't understand a thing when he explained why Emma is a masterpiece. It was too much too fast. English is not my first langage, and though I can read Jane Austen, I can't understand him lol
Cornell West is a very smart man whose primary intellectual effort appears to always be in the hope everyone listening will also see him as very smart.
@iamnobody2 Indeed, it is what it means to be a well-rounded analytic and critical rational thinker. How many can say that, who consider themselves scholars of the "ivory-tower canon of literature"? If one is about being totally human and understanding the human condition, one must read a variety of texts which are the experiences of different cultures, classes et. al. So, no need to be impressed by Bro. West, he's serious about what he is talking about and has educated himself accordingly.
This is still the best thing on youtube.
+TheLitLass Absolutely. West is a a genius.
Splendid.

TheDarkSideOfLight08 right there with you humanities, sociology and history did and continue to blow my mind
I have just discovered this man. WOW! I am in awe. I am now going to watch everything with him in that I can. 💜
Doctor Cornel West will transform the way you view life in general, I promise you as a devout follower of him!
I love Cornel West. Emma is my favorite as well. I'm a Jane Austen freak too. 👍👍👏👏
When your faves love your other faves
Damn, Cornel West is a brilliant man. I am humbled.
Ya gotta love a brother who freely admits to being a Jane Austen freak!
Check out Fran Lebowitz's Reflections on Jane Austen. Now I'm inspired to go back and read Austen again.
Simply brilliant! He is a national treasure and a genius at that
this fantastic, thanks for posting!

Amazing.

This interview is so much better than the Fran Lebowitz interview. Dr. West nails it. Gotta love a man who loves Jane Austen.
