Very interesting

The master of European sci-fi

You know it's funny all these hard left marxists seem to really live living in western countries. Id have at least a little respect for someone if they went and lived under communism, instead of living comfortably in the free and west. F Hobsbawm and his nonsense.

What a shame they couldn’t get a competent videographer for this programme.

The Scherzo works over the material of the first movement so much that it seems unnatural for her it to come second.

Great translation BUT still cannot pronounce Greek words and names correctly sorry, but it will NOT do, for 50 years I have been listening to wrongly pronounced Greek. People only now are beggining to pronounce my name almost correctly. Achilles Pelias? Please....

Is there a collection or compendium of her writings in LRB?

A rob byrdon impersonator😂

Well, the British are demonising all the Russian artists today.

I notice that several people in the comments mention that they have a hard time understanding Spinoza. No shame in that, because Spinoza is not easy. This video is very nice and it's done very well. If anyone wants to discuss Spinoza with someone in order to learn more, feel free to contact me. I am deeply into Spinoza and I gladly help those who want to learn.

Brilliant

What a bunch of (semiotically and, more generally, culturally) anachronistic, incongruous, conformist, ideologized, and prejudiced stereotypes one happens to find in a prestigious journal like the London Review of Books… 🤔🙋🏻‍♂

Close Reading in the Age of Social Media, love it

Yes.

Read Lethem's essay on Lem here: lrb.me/lemyt

40:00 , You're crying, I'm not crying.☘️ 😭

I grew up reading her poems. She and Auden are my favorite British poets from whom I derive the most pleasure and joy.

I find Mr.Self very condescending towards the Czech.

Stephen Dillane's voice and narration, sublime

Thank goodness we can all have our opinions!

Sign up? I can’t afford it… I am a poet.

Wonderful poet.

I'd love to hear Christopher Clark and Michael Neiberg talk about anything they want to discuss, for 5 hours

Thanks for this. Marvellous.

I absolutely love 'The Uncommon Reader' - recommending it, re-reading it and now, unable to read, listening to the matchless Bennett's audio version. Like Gallico's 'Snow Goose' a book giving endless pleasure. Thank you Alan Bennett for your readings.

_Trinidad Village_ by H & F Herskovits, 1947. _Behold the West Indies_ Amy Oakley, 1941. _A Brighter Sun_ by Samuel Selvon, 1952 (a novel set in 1940).

Good give and take between the two presenters 👍

listen closely-- it's fast and complicated, but hear it like some combination of philosophy and poetry-- or better, just listen the playfulness in the ideas. And for all the ideas too difficult, or given too fast, to comprehend, just enjoy the voice, the words, the sounds. Like all of Phillip's talks, there is so much to learn, if given the chance.

Sir Terry Eagleton singing "Raglan Road," irish folk song @ 40 mins :D !!!

I thought I saw SZA😂

Listening to Juliet and Tobias read this beautiful translation of Emily’s gave me the same chills that I get when listening to opera (or maybe EDM).

The Masque of Anarchy is still a powerful read because the syllables themselves need to be free.

One would wonder when someone say ,patriarchy etc ,equal share of what ? ,colonial loot or labourors sweat or illegals vote ?

Incredibly moving. I spend a lot of time in the East End, it's not change, it's self destruction. Slow suicide, witnessed.

Wasn't she the inspiration for the song Lady Writer by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits?

observations on america ignorant and absurd

Spinoza does not equate the God with the Universe. The Universe is just one expression of God. Said differently, the Universe is an infinitely small subset of the God. Spinoza's God has much more attributes than the Universe. So, Spinoza's Nature is not equal to the Universe we inhabit, as it is often interpreted. Also, the immortality of soul is a derivation within Spinoza's philosophy, which for modern science is a tabu. There are many other differences between what modern science claims and Spinoza's philosophy.

I love the way Will Self makes the interpreter look a bit redundant, i didn't hear her say anything other than the kind of crap they usually have to tell tourists who want to hear banal facts. I noticed she left after the first hour or so, I think he'd be a better tour guide if he spoke the language 😆

Okay, this is totally encompassing. Just add Bestine. ❤️

A brilliant man Mr Clark

influence of st John Perse still present

It may be of interest that an earlier (presumably) version of the story exists in Petrus Alfonsi's Disciplina clericalis. (The version in the Gesta Romanorum, clearly based on the former, may be contemporary with the English fabliau.)

For the record, one of his neighbors described him as having as "a man with black complexion and curly hair curly hair"...

Be a sheep it’s all the same to me

It’s sad to see him unwell.

Should we abolish the BBC? Is the calibre of question yoi get at the LRB?

35:08 what a legend this guy is.

Thanks for this, such an interesting thinker, hope he recovers soon.
