/lit/ - Literature

Shit list. Too many anglos. Crazy to see a J*w suck anglo cock so hard. Also, not a single Russian writer belongs on the Western canon. You could replace them all with a Frenchman who did it better and long before them.

the angloid canon

Dost literally just writes really long episodes of Seinfeld, so this isn't surprising

>Austen

impossible to not sound like an incel while pointing this out, but these three are only included as examples of women who wrote better shit than Rowling

>>18879061
This, but it's a good thing.

I hate anglos so much it's unreal

>>18879035
he only spoke like 4 languages and 2 of them were complete memes. i don't know why anyone takes his views on the canon seriously when he literally read translations

>>18879094
I love Anglos. I wish I was an Anglo (in mental terms, not race or anything like that). Alas, I am an American and the closest I can get to adopting an Anglo-Saxon mindset is playing as England in EU4.

>>18879025

>>18879067
I've read his entire catalogue. It's literally Seinfeld episodes

>>18879025
Why is this upsetting to you?
Why would a Russian, and a Russian as peculiarly Russian as Dostoevsky figure in the WESTERN canon?
I could understand the outrage if this was a list of the best authors of all time/the world/history.

>>18879025
Anglos don't understand passion and soul

>>18879126
I wish Americans were Anglo ;_;

I could have been like Newton or Tolkien, but instead I have only Tyson and GRRM

>>18879025
I was going to say Dosto isn't Western, but somehow Tolstoy is on there. So I guess my man Dosto really did get cucked.

>>18879106
(You)

>>18879137
Yeah Dosto is number 1 in the eastern russian steppes canon for sure.

>>18879137
Because Russian Empire was instrumental in supporting the young republic? USA still uses the 1812 theme to honor the common past.

>>18879135
your brain is that much riddled riddled and clouded by pop-culture garbage that you are only able to process and communicate information by comparing/refering to murican TV

>>18879153
I think Pushkin is considered the king of Russian literature. Then come others like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Gogol, Lermontov, Karamzin, other classics.

>>18879158
This is an English board. Get out. Go back back to /v/.

>>18879073
faggot. bloom loves emily
>>18879137
there's a russian on it, genius

>>18879185
it is an literature board... you go back to /v/ pseud faggot

>>18879148
Spengler considered Tolstoy westernized, but Dostoyevsky genuinely russian. Perhaps Bloom has the same opinion. Don't know.

>>18879201
>it is an literature board...
On an English website, not to mention you're illiterate. An literature board? The fuck out of here, back to /lgbt/.

>>18879158
Maybe if he didn't write Seinfeld bits he wouldn't be compared to Seinfeld, but to be honest, Seinfeld is better. It's entertaining at times, and what you learn is more useful.

>>18879158
post-modernism, babyyy

This only makes me like Seinfeld more when fruitcake pseuds like Derrida get their panties in a knot.

>>18879201
go back you fat esl retard

post your own lists then if you know so much better

>>18879073
They're all fantastic authors and have been praised widely for a lot longer than woke promotion of minorities and women has been a thing. It's impossible to not sound like an incel because you're grouping authors together purely based on their gender.

>>18879025
excluding that panting faggot was the only based thing this old fart ever did

>>18879073
>doesn’t single out George Eliot solely because he is too illiterate to know that’s a woman as well
Pathetic.

>>18879094
anglos were based up until world war ii

lol

>>18879025
this list is so fucking based
>moliere 6
>jane austen above whitman, ibsen, joyce
>montaigne in the top 5
>FREUD (actually one of the clearest writers ive come across, he makes real charlatans like Joseph Campbell obvious)
>Pessoa makes the top 25 goat
>kafka and beckett make the list
how can one man be so based

>>18879073
you are not at all educated and have probably read maybe 10 books in your lifetime. Nabokov's Lectures specifically point out that Mansfield Park is one of his favorite books, and that he had to be goaded into reading it by someone he respected because he thought it would be shit because it was written by a woman (but he was proven wrong, so wrong that that's one of the main books he taught)

>>18879025
>Shakespeare
Great but not a deity
> Dante
Great but only wrote one thing

Awkward "yee olde English" language

>Milton

>Wordsworth

Stilted Victorian prose and stifling manners. Airless, lacking any spices.
>Walt Witman
Good enough on his own terms, but does he deserve to be in the pantheon?
>Dickenson
Odd, disjointed schizo-ramblings

A constant bore
>Eliot
Skip
Tolstoy
Deserves a higher standing in this list.
>Ibsen
Skip
>Freud
Why? Makes no sense
>Proust
Deserves a higher standing
>Joyce
Deserves a higher standing, but only by about three ranks
>Woolf
Characterized by the unambitious application of a faddy stream of consciousness technique. Who cares about these long-winded passages about forks and upholstery and grass?
>Kafka
Might deserve a place on the list, though I don't know where
>Borges
Good but does not belong on the list
>Neruda
Skip
>Pessoa
Deserves a higher place on the list
>Beckett
A snob who can't tell a good story, nothing but showing off and pretentious avant-garde tricks to show how clever and arty he is.

You know why…

>>18879137
Russians are Western and Europeans. Dostoevsky saw himself as such.

Non-Anglo cope.

>Great but only wrote one thing
How is this a bad thing if he wrote one of the greatest pieces of literature of all time?
>>Chaucer
>Awkward "yee olde English" language
How is it awkward? Because you don't get it? Retard. He's good.
>> Cervantes
>Great but wrote only one thing
Likewise with Dante, though to a lesser extent.
>>Montaigne
>What is he doing here? Great but feels out of place
Literally defined an entire literary genre and his work is still fresh even when he talks about things which are now archaic.
>>Moliere
>Literally who
Bahhhahahhahahhhaaaahahahahahaha. You have to be kidding me. Do you just not read that many playwrights or do you not know French?
>>Milton
>Great but wrote just one thing
Ditto with Dante but also read his other works, they're interesting.
>>Wordsworth
>Skip
???? Read Wordsworth faggot.
>>Jane Austen
>Stilted Victorian prose and stifling manners. Airless, lacking any spices.
Pseud take.
>>Walt Witman
>Good enough on his own terms, but does he deserve to be in the pantheon?
I think so. Maybe you just don't like poetry.
>>Dickenson
>Odd, disjointed schizo-ramblings
Holy filtered! Literally one of the best poets and her schizoid personality only makes her better.
>>Dickens
>A constant bore
Filtered.
>>Eliot

She's okay
>Tolstoy

He's okay

Your obsession with identity is cringe. The less hardships you face the less interesting you are as a person. People of color are by default more interesting than you will ever be

>>18880312
The books he included was in his lectures weren’t necessarily his “favorites”, just good books with diverse styles.
Mansfield Park is pretty shit.
