>stealing the human race from real-life

Stephen King: shit

J.D. Salinger: shit

James Joyce: his own modernist pretensions have turned him into a dinosaur

Virginia Woolf: muh vagina

Virgina Woolf's proxies (Atwood): muh vaginas

Emily Dickinson: muh vagina

Walt Whitman: his philosophasting destroyed his legacy; his America has utterly vanished, thank god.

Henry Thoreau: a miserable mediocrity and wisdom writer. Thoreau and his ilk mark the coming of the American bourgeoisie.

Herman Melville: One of Thoreau's contemporaries, a Christian bigot and moralizing extremist. As part of the coming American bourgeoisie, Melville surpasses Thoreau by epitomizing our contemporary SJW's in 19th century form, a man well before his time for sure; kill whitey (the White Whale).

Ralph Waldo Emerson: Emerson couldn't decide between abolitionism and the reality of the Nigger, so he paid lip-service to abolitionists while at the same time distancing him by waxing sentimental about "Individualism". You might say he was a proto-cuckservative.

Don DeLillo: Underworld is a piece of shit, his early books are far better.

Lord Byron: simply a shitty poet.

Percy Shelly: the English parallel of Thoreau. We're at once supposed to believe in revolution and "non violence", which is to say he was a typical coward and English muddlehead, and the negrophilia is pretty disgusting. The poetry can be great but, as with Whitman, it is too often muddled by formal philosophasting. Generally all late poetry in history is shit.

John Keats: didn't sufficiently understand what he was saying when he said "truth is beauty". Keats was a typical dilettante, hence his utterly naïve, if not bourgeois view of nature.

Sylvia Plath: Complete shit, truly a product of her age. In the 60's, it was fashionable for feminists to flock to "poetry", ironically confirming the sexual segregation of culture engendered by Americanism, the very thing they allegedly fought. It was an ephemeral affectation and consequentially produced a ton of garbage. Plath is now deified because she confirmed liberal pretensions by 1) having a vagina 2) picking up a pen and 3) writing about lampshades

William Faulkner: was too artsy even by modernist standards, and he was a traitor. His worst book was stylistically a wreck but was political and therefore satisfied the critics, while his best book was pure art-for-art's sake nonsense. Very inconsistent writer and not nearly as great as the canon says. But why does its say it then? He loved niggers.

Tennyson: was a stilted Victorian court poet and pretty uninspiring, the academics are right.

Ezra Pound: one of the worst examples of American dilettantism. Literalizing the literality of modernism is a sure way to destroy poetry.

Wallace Stevens: He's part of a second wave of American modernism (dilettantism) that apparently didn't get the message from the first half. His so called "paganism" is fluty-to-do whimsical emoting, an inverted Americanized Christianism that wrecks his poetic aspirations

Is this supposed to depict Smerdyakov, or Ivan meeting with the devil? That fucker doesn't look human

Dude, I hope you're kidding, you write like a 16 years old. Not only that but your whole way of thinking is comparable to a brainlet's one. If you can't understand why I'm intellectually and morally superior to you in this whole conversation, you're quite a hopeless brainlet.

Best regards.

Good idea?

Why are you still here? Why are you on a "literature" board of an anime enthusiast image board?

Do you really think there's anything I won't do?
