/lit/ - Literature

This.

Fuck Walter Scott. Literally the Stephen King of his day.

You talk about so many old books, /lit/, but never Ivanhoe?

I had a huge boner for historical fiction.

What's your favorite book /lit/?

Pic related.

I finished reading this book recently, what are /lit/'s opinion on it? I think it's amazing.

What are /lit/'s opinions on reading original, unpublished works?

Namely one I've just written. But if it's okay, then we can have a share thread of people's work. I'm not opposed to that.

Pic semi-related. It was once an original, unpublished work. But I still don't like it.

Hey guys. I've got a question for people who have read this before. How much of this is historically accurate, and how much is pure fiction? And exactly how old is the story of Robin Hood, because I know Scott borrowed it from someone else?

A lame attempt of popularizing Russian farmers.

This is plain filth and I can't believe so many people consider it literature

Why has no one mentioned this book to me before? It's... amazing.

ITT: More historical fiction with swords and shit. Ivanhoe, everything Dumas ever wrote, etc.
