Wes Cecil has shared a lecture series on what allows creativity and art to flourish, one which I warmly recommend in all parts.
The Letter Writing episode, as an example, picks up on aspects of human history which is rarely touched upon, and kills the debate over whether the playwright William Shakespeare could possibly have written his works given his seemingly few years of formal education.
