we read Gongora and Lorca in high school (East Europe)
that some writers are not mentioned much on /lit/ does not mean that they're not internationally canonical, /lit/ is mostly made up of American schoolchildren, not relevant scholars of literature

ok, Lorca, is in the Wikipedia page or the Western Canon, maybe because he was gay in an age were it wasn't socially acceptable. But Quevedo? I didn't know that

For Germany:

>Johann Peter Hebel's Calendar (short) stories
Highly RECOMMEND! (There's a Penguin edition called 'The treasure chest', but I don't know if that is the best translation)
>Novellas by C. F. Meyer
(don't know if they have been translated)
>Eduard von Keyserling's (impressionistic) novels and novellas
>Goethe's Elective affinities
(Definitely part of the German canon but I guess not really know outside of it. One of the first great European adultery novels of the 19th century.)
>Gottfried Benn's (expressionistic) poems and novellas

>> No.17101691

>>17099747
>where? in high school?
Didn't I write "in high school"? I did, if I'm not mistaken. So yes, indeed it was in high school, we were 16-18 yo when we were assigned these two specifically.
>we don't even read foreign authors in high school
Some cultures can afford such blinders, I suppose.

>>17099845
>maybe because he was gay in an age were it wasn't socially acceptable
His homosexuality is barely a relevant factor and not very well known in pop culture (at least in my country, and up to several decades ago such stuff would mostly be glossed over in any critical works), and there were a bunch of older gay writers anyway. Is it really so strange to you to accept that he is canonical due to his artistry?

I know. The thing is in my country I am only finding his complete PROSE works by Aguilar not his complete POETRY, sadly. :/
