Not an accurate title

Compared himself to Jane Austen..?? Illustration of how utterly deluded he is...!! His friends in the Lit crit " Magic Circle " mainly to blame of course for fostering the delusion....See : H C ANDERSON : The Emperor's New Clothes....?? He explains it perfectly..!!

Got to study there this summer and it was amazing!!! Everyone was so kind and helpful! It was transformative experience and is already making a difference in my teaching!

My heart is totally full listening to her loving loving loving Oscar Wilde. I'm so proud to be an Irishman like him, and queer to boot, and I get MY bus from the stop outside his house in Dublin. Thanks Morgan Library for this video, I'll visit when next in New York.

Would love to see this in person, you brought these artifacts to life for us, thank you!

I am listening to Jane Eyre. I couldn’t turn off the video fast enough lol.

I lived close by the Morgan Library on 36th St in NYC and saw the mss. page of a Joyce poem, chicken-scratched on a ragged piece of foolscap. It really encouraged me as a young writer to "see" Joyce pulling his hair out too.

damn

I do beg your pardon, but I have to say, Beatrix Potter is likely to have not spoken in that accent, as she was born and grew up in Windermere, which is in the North West of England. It's likely Beatrix will have had a warm Lancashire accent. It's a completely different accent, to that generic posh upper class accent. 😂😂😂 Ey by gum.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ekky flumps.. 😂😂

Thank you so much for sharing this video and giving us a sneak peek at this amazing exhibit. I'm headed to NYC next month for a guided tour of this exhibit. I can't wait!

Wow, Ballet exibitions are so few and far between. This one looks amazing! And wonderful, informative video!

Looks absolutely amazing! The Morgan once again proves its worth as one of the most important library/museums in the world.

You've given me a great idea!! I live in Mexico and my sister in Tucson, I'll buy ink and paper and send her a letter as when we were younger. Thanks a lot for the idea. God bless you.

There is no woman (or man) like Fran Lebowitz. She is the most interesting and amazing woman I know (from. afar of course).

I have one of those lochby. It’s fantastic! And that tomoe river paper is still one of my top fav paper, even when writing with pencils

I could listen to her forever.

Colm Tóibin's <The Master> gave me a convincing and fresh understanding about Henry James.

The Black Prayer Books or Black Book of Hours were more expensive compared to other Book of Hours there. The parchment papers were soaked with black dye or ink and iron-copper and as a result could only be inscribed with gold or silver lettering.

The ‘Dark Ages’ were between the 5th and 14th centuries, lasting 900 years. The timeline falls between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. The (Black Death) was a bubonic plague pandemic occurring in Afro-Eurasia from 1346 to 1353. It is the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, causing the death of 75-200 million (Black) people in Eurasia and North Africa, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. (Erasing Black Europe) The Renaissance is a period in European history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries, characterized by an effort to revive and surpass ideas and achievements of classical antiquity.

Interesting how the scholarship of a particular epoch reflects the social fashions of the time period. The scholars in this talk act as if othering is a concept only used by Europeans against other races. The reality of course is this is human nature and can be seen by anybody who has travelled out of their own backyard.

Wonderful video and wonderful show… thank goodness for the Morgan

Thank you algorithm for leading me here!

👏👏

Fabulous! Love the art too...Leon Bakst, costume designer/art work...one of my favorite!

Wow - the way he speaks about art is so passionate; it's an art in itself!

I am as captivated by her art as by her eloquence!

Great quality content; the pacing, narration, editing, and visuals are all very captivating!

Incredibley perfect video!

Fabulous video! Thank you. Can't wait to see the exhibit. Btw, sent the video to three more people.

I appreciate her work. It’s technically amazing, but more importantly, it engages my mind. I would only suggest to the people here, to reflect deeper into why it in-rages you. Because, that’s actually the interesting part. why do you feel irritated by someone’s self expression? It actually says a lot more about you, than her.

Given the small size of the notebook, he must have used very fine-nibbed pens, presumably feather quills.

I love how excited he gets about erstwhile art ...I'm inspired as an artist myself

I fell into Fran Lebowitz's gravitational pull in 1978. I will orbit said gravitational pull until the end of days.

"what could be more new york than that? there's a bus stop in front and inside is this" YESSSSSSSS FRAN! Love you.

Love the Morgan Library. In the late 90s it introduced me to illuminated manuscripts . The craftsmanship was so fucking impressive I went twice.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

It just fits in so wonderfully with the other chalcolithic cultures of that period in Europe and the Mediterranean and the strong position of women in those cultures. Unfortunately we can’t read any of the few texts which have survived till today. One of the best lectures I have ever listened to!

well, I would say that both, Room With A View and Howard's End, delight me still...always recommend them...

The Mass is still said to this day, because the desecration was real. Even if the red spots were caused by a fungi (and there is no scientific proof of that, since the host was burnt), the host itself was sacred, as is every single consecrated host. So even without that miracle, the desecration occurred.

She wrote two books. Whatever.

I think saying "art is useless" is a bit misleading.. creating a mood is quite useful, I'm thinking to help cope with mental health issues for example

Somebody tell Fran that when she's in Buffalo she can page through Mark Train's original manuscript for Huckleberry Finn in his own hand with lots of corrections at the Erie County Library.

Not enough more more more!!👏❤

Excellent summary... A woman of incredible contribution!

A natural treasure. Fran, not the library. Regarding the ability to write finished prose without extensive revision: This can be accomplished only by a handful of the very best authors. Such people can sometimes be recognized by their ability to speak in finished prose. Among them, of course, was Oscar Wilde, one of the greatest raconteurs of the 19th century. In the century that followed, we have New York Times film critic Pauline Kael. I’ve seen her interviewed and she spoke in perfect paragraphs. And then there was Christopher Hitchens. Though I had some issues with his thinking, I was also aware that after a boozy lunch with colleagues, he would return to his office and type out a thousand-word column for the evening edition. His manuscripts were nearly as pure as the driven snow. Who am I to argue with such an intellect? Nobody, that’s who. Oh! And Fran’s pristine commentary is right up there with the best of them!

I am grateful for these custodians of books, art-- but she is not an artist, and has made one big mistake: art is hardly "useless", and meant to create a "mood"; mood is not the aim of art but a quality, art ALWAYS has a real "useful" purpose, just that once that purpose is realized it then becomes "useless" but retains it's beauty. We might admire a photo realist painting, but may not know the purpose was to show what a "photographic" painting really looked like, because at that time the takeover of art by abstract art relied on the belief that realism was nothing more than a photographic copy of the external world, the photo-realists were saying "THIS is what a photographic painting looks like" , Gertrude Stein wrote in a style where dialogue was mostly what the characters were thinking to emphasize knowing the hidden thoughts causing actions--examples are endless. What separates great art from the rest is it surpasses it's aesthetic qualities and creates change distinctly different from the way science and politics creates change.

What is the name of Holy/ divine pig in Medieval lit?
