Quite enjoyed the lecture. Thank you, Garry.

Not really a lecture.

There's nothing natural about Danny knowing Jack got the job and was about to call on the telephone, or getting a glimpse of the twins, or Halloran knowing Danny's nickname and asking a question telepathically, or Danny hearing a conversation on the other side of the hotel. Rather than 'resist a supernatural reading', you wilfully ignore it. You have some interesting things to say, certainly beyond the average analysis, but your politics are painfully biased to my ears. If we're talking purely politics and psychology, the subject of the film is less an intersectional take down of Western civilisation through Kubrick's eyes, an more a play on the superficial liberalism and deep dissonance of Stephen King.

Brilliant lecture and interpretation of Good Morning, Midnight

Ooh I could watch another couple of hours of this one! After decades of studying poetry and novels, I find out how fascinating it also is to study film ...thank you.

Thank you. I really enjoyed rewatching this movie and listening to such well-informed commentary. And the bonus advice on relationships is compelling.

I can't stop listening to these lectures. Luckily I've read most of the novels and poems many times already, and so don't need to slow down. Really interesting content.

Thanks for the lecture Professor, wishing you a fast recovery.

Feel better soon, sir. Wishing you the best

This is mind blowing

Gen X wasn’t just called Pepsi generation because of the soda.

What are your thoughts on new narrative mediums like TikTok or Instagram reels?

Hello there, please allow me ask this question, 'how does VS Naipul communicate his idea of exile in his novel Miguel street'

Too nice

I was there for the 911 time frame. I now sport a Godot tattoo on my left shoulder blade. .. LOVE your lectures!!! I graduated 16 years ago.....and I think often of the influence your teachings had on my life...even till this day.

Goodness gracious me, I have missed your lectures!!! Love how opportunity has allowed me to watch again on you tube, even as a creeper!!! Thank you, Sir!

Thank you for producing this lecture, very nice to learn more information on Jean Rhys as there is not a lot out there.

A midge is a swarming mayfly that appears in the millions every spring for a few days. Seems appropriate here.

What college are we all at here?

Prof your lectures are so insightful but also HILARIOUS love your humour

Great Video!!

Hi Prof. Leonard I wanna ask when is the due date and the what are the details & requirements of our journals? Because I didn't find them in the syllabus

Thank you for posting these lectures, Professor Leonard. I miss being in your class! These lectures have been keeping me busy and engaged during the quarantine break.

Two quotes from Mrs. Dalloway that have always struck me: 1. [of Septimus Warren Smith] "He went to France to save an England which consisted almost entirely of Shakespeare's plays and Miss Isabel Pole in a green dress." That is, he didn't go to defend or protect friends or family or his hometown, or anything else that's really tangible. He went for an *idea* of England, for two ideas that were both completely unattainable for him. He went to war to save the England of his imagination rather than the England of his lived experience. 2. Mrs. Dalloway calls her parties “an offering for the sake of offering, perhaps. Anyhow, it was her gift. Nothing else had she of the slightest importance.” Given all the soldiers who had offered their lives, the dismembered and crippled ones who came home having offered their bodies, and the ones like Septimus who had offered their minds, what can Clarissa offer? She offers life instead of death, forgetting instead of vengeance, normality instead of insanity. It is a subtle but tremendous offering.

I don’t go to university of Toronto but a year ago at UCSB I took a course that covers the same literature to an uncanny degree and it’s so interesting to see what new things there are to learn from another professors interpretations.

Thank you for posting these! I enjoyed your lectures in my undergrad.

Thanks for sharing this. "The self cannot name what it seeks, but we seek it...unpack your attic patterns" reminds me of when you asserted "to fall in love is to fall out of fear" back in 2006, when. R.E.M sounded less Old Testament. Appreciate these tools for plotting and narrating our emotion curves, towards non-distracting rituals. Peace from the MidEast, Matt

I'm grateful to enjoy a blast from the past in the form of this series of thought-provoking lectures by my favorite professor from Colby College circa 1985-87!

"Dover Beach," and your reference to REM's "Losing My Religion," reminded me -- a fellow child of the '80s -- of Thomas Dolby's "Cloudburst at Shingle Street," especially its at-first-romantic-but-on-reflection-haunting final lines: When I was small I was in love In love with everything But now there's only you Now there's only you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ggLK2fQijHk.html&ab_channel=ThomasDolby-Topic

Hi Professor Leonard! I graduated from U of T a very long time ago and it's been wonderful being able to watch your lectures online. Your classes were always a favorite of mine.

What lucky students to hear such a lucid, penetrating, and comprehensive intro.
