Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hi everybody, I am della in China. I am completely new here, and actually i am a little afraid and nervous now. Because of you , i see my ignorance. I am trying to look up something about Emily dickinson and Sylvia Plath when i came in this forum by chance. i am sure i can get more here and i hope sincerely that i can know you learnd and interesting people more.:
I like reading, poems specially. Keats is my favourite ,although i can recite little of his works. I also have interests in modernism literature . Sometimes i feel confused, sometimes my heart is deeply shocked by the works of the modernists. Recently i am studing The Waste Land. When i read it, there is always a question daunting in my head: can i truly understand it? To me ,there seems existing a broad gap between the oriental and western culture. But i will try my best to understand.:yawnb:

Welcome della. If you like poetry, this is a good place for you visit and chat. If you need any help with those poems, you can ask me anytime.

Welcome! You dont need to feel afraid or nervous, dont worry. There is a very large range of people here, from begginers to people who have been reading for decades. I myself also like Keats and Sylvia Plath, just look around and ask some questions and I'm sure you will find what you need.

Hi all,

I have roamed around this site for a while, and I must tell you I am breathless with anticipation of what lies before me now. In my little part of the world, no one wants to discuss literature. My few acquaintances who even read regularly only feel the need to scratch the surface of plot and possibly character traits. I look forward to much discussion and debate.

Welcome Austen! You seem quite zealous about discussion and debate, which means you'll absolutely love it here :D I too love Austen! Especially when i read Pride and Prejudice, i have seen the entire BBC series maybe 6 times. The best of luck to you! :)

Oh! I absolutely adore that production. One of the best the BBC churned out. They stayed very true to the story, I believe--unlike the latest Hollywood-ized version of Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson as the herione Elinor, who is 19--and Thompson is what? 40-something?!?. And Hugh Grant (46) was cast as Edward, who is supposed to be early 20s. It just didn't suspend my disbelief.

Anyway, I just had to chime in about the BBC production of P&P.

Cheers!
AG

hello :wave:
err it wasnt that true to the original but yes it was the best Ive seen and I think Ive seen 5 versions of P&P . But Emma now that was awful.

The BBC tends to do good period/adaptaion things .:nod:

Hey, Della! Nice to meet you! I also come from China, I hope we will enjoy here! And welcome! Don't be nervous, I even think you are greater than me! So believe yourself! :yawnb:

Happy New Year, all who post here. I'm a 7th grade writing teacher from NJ. My favorites are Shakespeare, obviously, and Austin. I got the A&E/BBC P&P DVDs for Christmas. I can't wait to watch it again.

Hi all! Welcome to the forum! :)

Hi,

I realised last year that I really enjoy reading. I love Dostoyevsky - and want to read more by the Russian masters of his era. I like other authors too, but at the moment it is all about Muzhiks, Kulaks and the like!!!

Nice to meet you all!

James
