About this channel
I am Laura, a PhD student of Comparative Literature in Germany researching hermeneutics and aesthetics. I love reading Gothic Literature and all kinds of classics from ancient to modern times. At the moment, I am making my way through ancient and medieval stories that have influenced modern-day fantasy and science fiction literature. Besides that I also make videos in which I introduce aspects of my field of research in literary theory and also cover contemporary books every now and then.
