Darwin's Universal Impact --
Dame Gillian Beer
(From Spoken English Example Videos for Language Study)
A discussion of Darwin's writings given on 6 July, 2010 by literary critic Dame Gillian Beer, graduate of Oxford University and professor of English literature at Cambridge University.
This talk is entirely scripted, so, though very well penned, it is lacking any improvisatory language.
Difficulty level: 8/10
Dialect: British (Oxbridge) English
Points to look for: Simply excellent language throughout.
Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. - Oscar Wilde
