You don't understand anything about France fuckin pseud. Keep only Mallarmé, and add Corneille, Racine, Bossuet, Saint-Simon, and Valéry If you want difficulty (The hardest being Corneille and Racine but they're so subtly difficult that people don't even know you have to speak good Latin to understand it well).

Do you Anglos realize how much we scorn you here in the French philosophy departments? We scorn the analyticals because they're failed scientists who just completely missed the point of 2.5 thousand years of the subject and we scorn the French theorists because they're a bunch of pent-up puritans in disguise trying to act cool. Cool, that is, like us. Really I mean you're the butt of a sizable chunk of our jokes.
