Interesting Lectures

The only complaints about this collection of lectures is that some of them had technical issues. The lecture about the feminist poet had audio repeat from about mid point on, and we never get the whole lecture. Another one was very quiet, and I had to turn my phone volume almost to max in order to hear it. (I'm sorry, I basically binge listened so now I've forgotten which one it was, although I can tell you the voice sounded like an older man. I got totally lost in listening after adjusting the volume, and the specific lecture that it happened in is gone out of my mind.) Some of the lecturers also kind of talked a lot, but said very little, which I suppose should be expected from a group of lecturers speaking on great literature. I particularly liked the several lecturer long look into what makes a classic. It really made me think about other works of art, and what would make those works a classic. Overall, I recommend it.
