Emma, I got news this morning that my grandmother passed away and this whole day I’ve been up on my room, trying to come to terms with my grief. This video and your channel in general have calmed my anxiety in exam season, muffled my loneliness after moving to a new country, and kept me company in moments of struggle. Now, you are filling the silence of my room with your voice, talking about books and helping me take one step at a time through life. I know many people can relate and I would like to thank you for creating a safe space in a corner of the internet.

@jacquelinepon01 2 года назад

The Monk is one of my favourite books of all time, but a very self-conscious favourite that I don’t tell other people about because of how violent and atrocious the acts perpetrated by the monk and Matilda are. But it’s one of the best examples of the horror subcategory of the Gothic and very much reflective of the anxieties of the highly Protestant British people at the time, who were witnessing from across the pond the French Revolution. So happy to see my favourite booktuber giving it a chance!

@Cubehead27 2 года назад

Ooh, I don't know anything about Angela Carter's story, but "Erlkönig" (The Erlking) is a very famous Goethe poem that got quite wonderfully set to music by Franz Schubert. (I would recommend any recording by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.)

@tina.InTheSkyWithDiamonds 2 года назад

Yes!!

@jackjohnhameld6401 2 года назад

@@tina.InTheSkyWithDiamonds Fischer-Dieskau is wonderful : I have a DVD of his Schubert recital. So too is Fritz Wunderlich who appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in the 1960s (Mozart's The Magic Flute) and died afterwards in Germany in a tragic accident. Listen to Wunderlich sing Schubert, RU-vid.

@emmiereads 2 года назад

ah must go check those out immediately, thank you!!

@JimmyTheTurtle892 2 года назад

Fischer-Dieskau's face in that recording on youtube haunts me. The way he captured the different voices of the people in the poem was phenomenal.

@bookishbrenda 2 года назад

so I read “I’m thinking of ending things” because I randomly found it and it’s kind of a spooky read. It’s more unsettling and there’s a little bit of gore if you’re interested :)

emma: mentions the erl king my brain: Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind.. The poems I had to learn by heart in school are going to haunt me until the end of time

@antifantastisch4467 2 года назад

For me that was Rilke. "Befiehl den letzten Früchten voll zu sein, gib ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage, dränge sie zur Vollendung hin und jage die letzte Süße in den schweren Wein." Pretty much the only poem I still can recite.

@kristina_rr 2 года назад

Der Erlkönig is such a cool poem but every time I hear it I remember being forced to perform it alone in front of the whole class and the anxiety that came with it 😭😅

@Beiez 2 года назад

I'm so sad we never had any Goethe in school. Every year before and after me had Goethe, we had Schiller instead.

@salindrab4493 Год назад

"Mein Vater, mein Vater und siehst du nicht dort Erlkönigs Töchter am düsteren Ort?" Oh my, Erlkönig...one of the spookiest poems in German literature. It haunted me a long time after we had to memorise it in school....I like Goethe's Zauberlehrling more, although it is pretty dark as well...

@margueriteh5738 2 года назад

I'm taking a class on Angela Carter, and especially this collection, this semester, and it's been the best class I've ever taken! It's amazing when you read it by yourself, but it's completely fascinating to study: there is sooo much intertextuality, and Carter is basically a genius. It's nice to see you love it :)

Hi Emma, just popping in to inform you of another recently released Phantom of the Opera retelling since you are always up for one: Phantom Heart by Kelly Creagh. She had previously released Nevermore series which is a sort of retelling of Edgar Allen poe stories. I really had fun reading that series back in the day.

@tardisgirl1237 2 года назад

I read The Bloody Chamber and absolutely FELL IN LOVE with her writing, to the point where I'm doing my Honours Dissertation, (and hopefully, my Master's thesis), on her. If you're looking for a book similar to The Bloody Chamber, there's nothing quite like it, that's the standout in her whole literary canon. However, Shadow Dance, (Honeybuzzard in the US) and The Magic Toyshop are very Gothic books, and Nights at the Circus is an incredible historical fiction with some Gothic elements thrown in. If you can find them, I think you will love all of these stories! Happy Reading.

@alexandrafredriksson8177 2 года назад

If you haven't read Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier, that gives some creepy vibes!! Manipulation, windy seas, death...👻

@booklanerecommendations 2 года назад

I love this book. And for fans of Rebecca I'd also recommend The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, and Du Maurier's other book My Cousin Rachel.

@shepaintshouses 2 года назад

So glad your reading The Monk at the moment! It's still my favourite book. I'm currently reading through Melmoth the Wanderer. I can tell you that it has the same creepy vibe as The Monk has. It's great so far, it's bloody spooky. Though Melmoth is a bit of a chonker. A review on Amazon called it Melmoth the Meanderer which, honestly, made me want to read it even more haha!

Loving the importance of language in context of cognitive dissonance that the book underlines😌

@jenvcampbell 2 года назад

Just pausing the video to recommend modern writers who are similar in style to Angela Carter: Kirsty Logan, Julia Armfield, Ha Seong-nan, Carmen Maria Machado, Cassandra Parkin (specifically her New World Fairy Tales), Deidre Sullivan, Alice Thompson (particularly The Book Collector). You might also enjoy my books The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night and The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers. Heading back to the video now for more cosiness. xx

Still reading Proust. He has met an artist, one might even say a famous artist, and is spending time in his studio. I think that you would like this part because he's spending a lot of words describing the artist's landscapes. The language is very flowery. Lucy would like it too, I'd say, because one suspects that Proust influenced Woolf. Thx Emma
