Freedom and Oppression in E. M. Forster’s - A Room with a View by Dorothea Barrett
Freedom and Oppression in E. M. Forster’s
A Room with a View by Dorothea Barrett
Dr. Barrett wilI begin by describing Forster’s life and
ideas: his position as a transitional figure between
Victorian and modern literature; his beliefs in the areas
of gender & sexuality, politics, and religion; England at
the time (feminist movement, social class). She will
then focus on binaries in the novel, such as rooms
and views, medieval and Renaissance. Finally, and
hopefully with the help of the audience, she will give a
close reading of the scene in Piazza della Signoria from
Chapter Four.

Hi DOLLY! IT'S MARTIN BROVERMAN YOUR EX BROTHER IN LAW. MAYBE WILL MEET SOMETIME IN LONDON! BEST WISHES, ALWAYS!
I just watched Room With A View last night. First time in many years. Such a marvelous story and it has that unique sophistication of every thoughtful detail. So different from the sort of period romantic movies we see today which are completely unsatisfying, lacking authenticity and believability. Merchant Ivory knew how to reveal ES Forster’s intent.
It's truth Forster was a Liberal, not a Conservative. He defended Lawrence and was of course, against every kind of puritanism and its hipocresy. A Room with a View is one of his finest books. 💎❤️🆗👍🤗
I only watched the first lecture with Dorothea Barrett, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very engaging speaker and interesting insights into A Room with a View and E. M. Forster. I'll have to read the book again!
An admirably relaxed and sympathetic lecture as well as wonderfully insightful. The location is perfect. Thank you so much.
Dr Barrett made a mistake i.e. 'In 2003 the Women's Social and Political Union was established by Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst'. It was 1903. Thank you for the interesting lecture and not least the fashions of the time of the novel.
Very angaging speakers..I learnt a lot!!! thank you from Monterrey, MEX

Hi DOLLY! IT'S MARTIN BROVERMAN, YOUR FAVORITE EX BROTHER IN LAW!!! HOPE ALL IE WELL WITH you!!!!
To apply her prejudice to his boarding school is idiotic. In fact what made the young EM Forster the man and author he became started at that environment. The "oppression" formed a diamond, argualbly formed his art and passions for freedome. This point is lost on the speaker
Not a particularly sophisticated lecturer and a completely unresponsive audience.

Yes, all of the speakers seemed very boring. The Italian lady sounded more alive, but she sounded confused between British and American accents!

As a person is - So they see. The lecture regardless of your comment and similar remarks was far from boring but was delightful.

I disagree the audience was "unresponsive" when the lecturer made a joke her audience laughed !
