Many of us know the Black Death as a catastrophic event of the medieval world. But the Black Death was arguably the most significant event in Western history, profoundly affecting every aspect of human life, from the economic and social to the political, religious, and cultural. In its wake the plague left a world that was utterly changed, forever altering the traditional structure of European societies and forcing a rethinking of every single system of Western civilization: food production and trade, the church, political institutions, law, art, and more.

COVID: Not the Black Death but close.
Revisado: 01-01-23
Dr. Armstrong’s expertise, insights and dogged research make this an outstanding Great Course. The world’s current COVID EPIDEMIC invites comparison with previous epidemics. While our current crisis may not rise to the severity of the Black Death, Dr. Armstrong’s analysis and presentation informs our experience with the wisdom of what passed before.

E. E. Cummings' radical experimentation with form, punctuation, spelling, and syntax resulted in his creation of a new, idiosyncratic means of poetic expression. And while there was critical disagreement about his work (Edmund Wilson called it "hideous", while Malcolm Cowley called him "unsurpassed in his field"), at the time of his death in 1962, at age 67, he was, after Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in the United States. Now, in this new biography, Susan Cheever traces the development of the poet and his work.

Hello Again Mr. Cummings
Revisado: 11-25-22
Insightful, provocative, revealing and entertaining. I didn’t want it to end either the book or the narrator. If you ever liked the poetry of e e Cummings, this is a side of
his that you want to know - despite its struggle and success. Bravo!

This deeply textured dual biography and fascinating intellectual history examines two of the greatest minds of European history - Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther - whose heated rivalry gave rise to two enduring, fundamental, and often colliding traditions of philosophical and religious thought.

Printing and Printers: The Reformation Letters, Essays and Bibles
Revisado: 01-05-22
Printing technology was only 7 decades old when Luther hung his treatise on the door. That act triggered an onslaught of publications that comprise the history of the Reformation. The number of Bibles that were printed and sold is remarkable considering how primitive the technology. It was the printed word that allowed the theologians to debate in public the great questions of sin, salvation and redemption. The treatises and letters together with the competing Bibles provided the curriculum that eventually educated the western world. The author relies on these public and private printed conversations to give us a delightful, and at times frightening, look into the lives of these reformists.

“This is a story about an idea that I have,” Americana legend and self-proclaimed “recovering folk singer” Steve Earle states early in his enthralling Words + Music performance. “This job of mine becomes an artform spontaneously in 1965 - when Bob Dylan wants to be John Lennon, and John Lennon wants to be Bob Dylan, whether either one of them would admit it or not - and in that moment, rock and roll becomes art."

What I know now...
Revisado: 05-11-21
I don’t think anyone knew, at the time, what was going on in 1965. Knowing it now makes 1965 make some sense. Even if you don’t like music this is great history - revised history but as he says, all history is revisionist history.
