An extremely eloquent and interesting speaker. How lovely it would have been to listen to him without the background noise, presumably from inattentive, perhaps entitled students.
Thank you for sharing, this helped me get a better understanding of the recent play adaptation created by Dyad Productions, I can see why they chose to adapt this amazing essay into theatre
Too bad people (male people perhaps?) stop reading the encounter with the beadle at the (ironic) phrase "no very great harm was done" . . . and miss the whole point of recounting the episode which is to illustrate the dynamic contained in the sentence that follows . . .
Is that true, though? I feel like the people who stopped at that point were just as likely to stop on the first page. They didn't want to read it anyway. Perhaps they just found a contrived excuse to stop at that point.
No polimique intended. Can someone explain why such a fuss is made of Ms Woolf's"stream of consciousness" writing style but with no allusion to anyone else, for example, D H Lawrence ? I grew up in his "The Country of my Heart" and studied Sons and Lovers at the fac d'Angers. I couldn't believe he'd written my life 40 years before I was born! I accept Joyce would have been a more powerful choice but as I say I was not far away from Eastwood and he did, after all, write the history of my formative years Thinking of the fac de lettres à Angers, I want to give plublic thanks to Professor Ben Faulkner who taught the Short story, both Irish and American at that time. He gave me an abiding love of Literature in general and of Yeats in particular. I'm just discovering Woolf.
what do you mean when you say “why such a fuss is made of Mrs.Woolf’s writing style”? he didn’t make a very big deal of it at all other than to clarify to students and listeners why the text is written the way it is. and why should he make allusion to anyone else when this lecture was about Virginia Woolf and her specific essay, not about the type of writing style? if you are just discovering Virginia Woolf’s work, i suggest focusing on digesting the material instead of focusing so heavily on comparing her work to others.
I believe the book title itself lies V's hope and views of human's: no sexual differences but one, we're all one, with simple security needs. Geniuses just born too early or being prophets of their times.

I think more a lack of respect. A feeling of superiority by the ‘students’
Just superb lecture
But I am surprised why views are soo low
This is perhaps best video on this topic
Guess I can listen to him my whole life...
He makes these topics so accessible.. thank you!
Thanks. I too enjoyed this lecture. Given how recently the vote was given to women, its giong to take a long time to dismantle the patriarchy.
Wonderful lecture, thank you so much for sharing.
An excellent lecture; thank you.
wonderful explanation by Mr Ron Strickland
