What do you think of Harold Bloom's 100 literary and language geniuses?
on the right

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 12:05:26 2014 No.4967176 Very heavy western bias

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 12:10:21 2014 No.4967190 >>4967176 Western literature is obviously the best though

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:10:40 2014 No.4969205 is this rankd from 1-100 or is it just grouped in those weird things

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:17:58 2014 No.4969237 >>4969205 I think it's just enumeration But they are ranked in 10s

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:26:06 2014 No.4969276 how the fuck am i supposed to read this

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:28:42 2014 No.4969291 >>4969276 it tells you how to on the bottom left corner

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:37:28 2014 No.4969330 >"Women" are marked in a category of their own and are almost all contained within the 'kindness' group Bloom is a weird sexist. Woolf belongs in 'understanding' with Joyce and Beckett

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:37:31 2014 No.4969331 >>4969276 There's a key on the bottom left. After reading the key you'll find out that infographics are dog shit. The actual correct way to read it would be to read Bloom's book.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:37:32 2014 No.4969332 >>4967141 i dont think tolstoy should be in the same category as shakespeare, cervantes, alighieri, chaucer, milton etc

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:38:35 2014 No.4969336 >>4969330 no women are marked because they are far less of them

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 3 21:40:44 2014 No.4969347 >>4969330 Actually, I just realized that Bloom didn't come up with the 'woman' demarcation. This is a poorly made visualization. You have to scroll back and forth just to see what line corresponds to what author. It's failed at its main purpose.
