Ok so, who's the better writer: Shakespeare or Cervantes?

>> No.21585473

>>21585467
Shakespeare wrote plays, not literature. The only literature Shakespeare wrote were lyrical poems, which is not enough to properly rate him. Cervantes did write literature (novels, short stories).

Cervantes > Rabelais > Shakespeare

Montaigne did influence Shakespeare
I'm not sure if S got to read C or viceversa

Shakespeare or who?

>> No.21585768

Shakespeare wrote a (lost) play about one of the characters in Don Quixote. I’m pretty sure S read C.

Cervantes and Shakespeare are literally the same person. Every academic knows this.

Well Cervantes fought in the battle of Lepanto so I favour him. What a man

Nah you're a fag, calling thread on yourself? Especially with such an unoriginal canned answer, using greater than symbols as if your (poorly) self-educated "opinion" (though it barely qualifies as one) bears the authority of a mathematical proof? Nah dawg you're a fake motherfucker, and I'm sure the suspiscion creeps up on you... well let it blitz you and put you out of your misery once and for all: that specter of imposterism and futility has finally overcome you, made evident by nobody other than your self.

Cervantes.

I’d love to tell you Cervantes, being that I’m just about to start Don Quixote, but I find it hard to believe any writer can top Shakespeare in a single novel.
