Ah, the yearly "/lit/ top 100" list—a tool often utilized by individuals seeking to impress the community of r/books with an ostensible display of erudition. It perpetuates a facade within the confines of /lit/, suggesting that its inhabitants are societal pariahs clandestinely possessing extensive literary knowledge and intellectual depth. What a load of poppycock. There are but 5 literature related threads on /lit/ at any one time and it has been like that for nearly a decade.

Not all of Shakespeare's works were first published in the Folio, some were first published before and one or two after, but that's probably a good way of doing it. Bonus props if you list the complete works as something like 'Shakespeare - Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies' in honour of the First Folio 400th anniversary this year

It's not that /lit/ is Christian, it's that there's a good amount of Christians on /lit/ who will consistently include the Bible in their top 5. Add to this the general contrarian culture of 4chan, and you'll have the Bible high up on the chart.

Will we be doing the same thing for Sophocles? Will we be allowed to vote for published collections of movie scripts? The "it was all first published as a book this way" excuse isn't even true. So if we are not allowing the above, can you explain to me how this really isn't just a pretext to get Shakespeare higher on the list because some group of people here feel he deserves it? Or could we at least really just admit that is the case here? Not to mention half the interest in the lists like this is seeing what people consider the best work from an author, or how different works from the same author stack up against each other.

Finished the first batch of formatting, here's what I've found:
1).The majority of submissions with formatting errors contained The Brothers Karamazov or any David Foster Wallace novel.
2).The highest concentration of spelling mistakes were found in The Brothers Karamazov submissions. With multiple people spelling "Karamazov" or "Dostoevsky" wrong.

1. LOTR, who cares, practically the same book, one series and a direct continuation.
2. The Trilogy, the plays are related as they are thematically similar and were written directly after each other, but characters and plot are not revisited.
3. Shakespeare's Canon, ridiculous, the entire corpus of the most significant English author ever, which have no connection to each other as part of a grander work and a very varied. While I might forgive groupings of the Minor and Major Henriad, maybe Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra together, the Complete Works is stupid to be included as one book.

>No one who really knows it thinks the music is the most important part.
you're so utterly wrong. Wagner is in the first place the music, if you'd actually listen to it (a real performance, not youtube) you would immediately realize that. The story is always extremely simple except for the Ring, but that is because the story is being told though the music. You hear the feelings, the events, the landscapes presented, it is all there in the sound, and no other classical composer even comes close to the absolute power of it. No other composer comes close to the way it touches ones soul. His stories on the other hand are also good, but not nearly as genius as the music, and cannot really stand on their own. The story, poetry and music are complementary of course, but it is by a very wide margin the music that is the most important part.
>drama equal to Aeschylus
I actually agree on this part. Wagner aimed to create a tragedy like the Greeks.
>Shakespeare
His poetry doesn't even come close, but that is only natural, since it still needs to be sung, so he was limited in his choice of words.

The chief means of expression IS the music, yes, but that does not mean it is the most important thing in the artwork-- that is just opera. For Wagner the drama was always the most important thing, in the Gesamtkunstwerk. The music is nothing but the drama, and vice versa, as well as the poetry, scenery, acting, etc. That is what distinguished his music from opera music.

>The story is always extremely simple except for the Ring
This is such a simplification it's almost a lie. It can be debated how simple the stories are, but the drama and characters, as expressed through the words, are the furthest thing from simple and it is what inspires all of the complex psychology and mood in the music. I challenge you to find something in his music without a basis in the text. As one example, Wagner boasted in a letter how good of a job he did at showing King Marke's entire character in one written scene.

>His poetry doesn't even come close, but that is only natural, since it still needs to be sung, so he was limited in his choice of words.
Only rarely does his poetry equal Shakespeare, or any of the great poets, in wit or poetic mastery, but as an expression of the drama his poetry very regularly does. And one of Wagner's major breakthroughs in the libretto was to allow a free choice of words and as such a quality work of literature to be set to music, he was not limited at all.

I think we actually agree on the first point, that it is a dramatic work and the music is only part of it, and that all are supposed to be regarded together. But the point was that the text in itself is a great masterpiece is not something I can agree with, it cannot be regarded on its own, while the music (at least for me) can be done so. One example to support is the Henk de Vlieger arrangement, especially the one of Tristan und Isolde. The music is still incredibly powerful, even if you do not know what was the original text for the part.

>I challenge you to find something in his music without a basis in the text.
you can also reverse this challenge, find me something in his text without a basis in the music. Like you stated yourself, both of them are inseparable and part of the greater drama.

>so he was limited in his choice of words
I meant that in the sense that he can't just start a monologue like in Hamlet. He was constrained, but we seem to agree on that point. Now compared to other librettos I do not know if he actually was better, I've only seen three other non-Wagner operas so I cannot judge. Maybe I'll read Rigoletto, in my memory it came close in terms of dramatic power. Now the fact that he revolutionized the libretto doesn't automatically make his librettos great masterpieces, but it does make them important historically speaking.

I don't think regarding Wagner's dramas as brilliant literature negates the fact that they can't be fully appreciated as literature alone. Since their own day, by Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Mallarme, Liszt, Bruckner, Eduard Devrient, Joyce, Jung, even Whitman, and countless others, they have been regarded as works of genius. Wagner himself thought so and would give dramatic readings of them. The ending 'soliloquy' to Gotterdammerung was not set to music, because it detracted from the drama, but Wagner said it was the true ending in literary form and included it in the published poem.

>you can also reverse this challenge, find me something in his text without a basis in the music.
That's a lot easier because the nature of words is to include all sorts of abstract content. And often a single motif, or motivic group, will be sounding while a considerable lot is spoken of or happening on the stage. Take for example Walther's introduction in Meistersinger, Pogner is describing where he has come from and Beckmesser is worrying about this newcomer, but the only music playing is Walther's motif. Most importantly the music is inspired by the poetry, one can assume an infinite amount of motifs could have been written for the different events and themes of the text.

>I meant that in the sense that he can't just start a monologue like in Hamlet.
The only thing restraining him would be the stylistic choice of mythic symbolism. Everything in Wagner usually has some mythological significance, which the realism of Shakespeare is not suited to. But often his characters do freely go off on a monologue, take for example Wotan's lengthy narrations in act 2 of Walkure, the like of which opera had never seen. If we refer to Wagner as a librettist then undoubtedly he was the greatest librettist to ever live. But that does not seem intelligent because, in his maturity, he wasn't following operatic conventions. He was not aiming for the simple beauty of Da Ponte, which is unique to opera.

The Shakespeare thing has derailed the thread. I, for one, am in favor of including complete works and omnibuses. Plato should also count as a single book. Everyone has a complete Plato and Shakespeare, I’d hope. The basic writings of Nietzsche is another good choice. Some of those Library of America’s have multiple good books in a single volume.

I’d be surprised if Shakespeare landed high in the ranking. All I see of him on this board is debating his status

Not only is the Shakespeare ruling correct, it is in fact only a half-stride in the direction of what is right. The list should simply be a top 100 authors list. There is no true distinction between an author's works. Each man's opus begins when he pens his first word, and ends with his last. To claim that they are different works simply because a few laminated covers an large-type words stand between them is silly when they are born of the same mind. Shakespeare is Shakespeare. Faulkner is Faulkner. There is no further distinction to be made.

You are the biggest pseud in this thread for being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian and acting like you're some rebel going against academic tyranny.

Rather, I think Tolstoy is completely worthless, I think War and Peace is vanity slop for retards, who want to be exotic by pretending Vanity Fair from Thackeray doesn't exist and appealing to the curious 'Russian Intellectual niche', Anna Karenina is psychological garbage, with banal prose that is ugly translated, worse than say Middlemarch or The Egoist, and you calling them the 'greatest two novels ever' because some academics told you too, and even the author himself agrees with me that they are worthless kind of shows the peak stunted intellectual that you are.

"All". Jewish lawyer language. A few plays were added and the corpus grew. So what? It's still one corpus.

In all seriousness, Shakespeare has so many great plays, 'Hamlet', 'King Lear', 'Othello', 'Macbeth', 'Henry IV Part 1', 'Henry IV Part 2', 'Henry V', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'As You Like It', 'Twelfth Night', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Julius Caesar', 'Antony and Cleopatra', etc, more than the five votes allowed, so I want to vote for all of them by voting for 'The Works of Shakespeare'. In previous years, however, I knew it would be a wasted vote because no one else would be voting for 'The Works of Shakespeare', so I voted for 'Hamlet' last year. I suspect that it's the same for most everyone else who voted for 'Hamlet' or 'King Lear', that they would rather have 'The Works of Shakespeare' on the top, but simply didn't want to waste their vote. OP's decision rectifies this paradox. It does leave out the ability to vote for 'Hamlet' without voting for 'Henry VIII', but those who want that are few and far between

I wasn't talking about the lost ones. But some of the so-called problem plays have been added to later editions of the complete works. There's no denying that. The RSC Shakespeare includes Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen.

Not true, but even if that were the case, I think there is an argument that plays shouldn't even be included here. Treating them like books is a bad idea for many reasons, even ignoring the fact that it derailed this thread.

What about Faust? That's a play.
What about the Iliad? Should it not be voted for since it wasn't originally a book? Nearly everyone knows the Iliad by reading it as a book. I think that's ground enough to consider the Iliad a book. It's the same with Shakespeare.

The Illiad has primarily been enjoyed as a book for millenniums now, people still perform Shakespeare and that is how you should enjoy his work primarily today.

Faust probably should not be on the list either.

I'll elaborate on one.
Robert Howard originally write Conan the Barbarian short stories released in serials or magazines. Later they were compiled into a book similar to how Shakespeare's plays were originally on loose paper quattros them later compiled and published as a book.
The major differences are Howard's works were short stories not plays but they share the same protagonist and setting while Shakespeare's are mostly unconnected narratives.

OP what do you think about this? Robert Howard is a popular writer here and I personally would not mind if this Shakespeare ruling extends to him to and gets him on the list as a big Conan fan.

There's a handful of other people submitting collections which I've left as individual submissions along side the novels/plays. I've assumed it's best to leave the non-Shakespeare submissions untouched. If anyone wants to post feedback on the topic I'd love to hear it.
