Why were early modern english and middle english writers so obsessed with “wit”? What the hell even is wit? How am I supposed to appreciate poetry if half its value is riding on being considered snappy and funny by dead britons? “Wit” has no perennial value, but it’s either that or generic religious shit. I feel like English poetry didn’t even start until romanticism.
