What is the black Don Quixote
What is the black Tristan and Isolde
What is the black Song of Roland
What is the black ISoLT
What is the black Lolita
What is the black Ulysses

Great insight.

Our history, like it or not is a white male history. Sad but true, so instead of forcing bad literature into the most beautiful works, people should assume history will remain the same.

Maybe a super great black author makes it and will be canon in 100 years, but that's a whole different story.

Past is past, start looking to the future.

There already is a black author in canon, Bloom even said he's the only great black author he's read.

Shakespeare was not an aristocrat, neither was the majority of the writters in the 19th and 20th century. Neither did they deal with issues pertaining exclusevily the aristocratic class(not even Tolstoy).

You are making a grand and idiotic generilization, as idiotic as the other idiot who claims that the canon is "white peoples" property.

This is actually turning out to be true. I borrowed Shakespeare and the Invention of the Human from the library and am trying to read it right now, but like 80% of it is just:

>this is my favourite scene
>this is my favourite play
>I don't like this scene, because reasons
>every other critic who actually says things about the text is wrong
