classical-literature

The speaker discusses the feeling of escapism they experience when reading classic literature set in the past. They contrast this with historical fiction, which often over-explains historical context, and argue that classics allow readers to immerse themselves in a different world without needing explicit explanations. The speaker encourages viewers to consider their own preferences for reading and to try reading a classic, particularly a Jane Austen novel, to experience this feeling of escapism.
