So, was part 11 ("Feminist/Queer Theory", apparently) of ths ever made or what? I need it for a Wiki of recommendations I'm compiling, based on the file I found on /rs/.

>> No.851303

>>851259
If the answer is "no, there's no part 11", would you be so kind of recommending books on that regard?

For starters, I'd put Virginia Woolf's non-fiction (A Room of Her Own in particular); and some Simone de Beauvoir, plus an introduction to her work.

>> No.851331

It's A Room of One's Own, you dumb nigger

This thread is now about making a British literature recommendation chart. I'll start. If a photoshopfag could make a pic out of it, it would be great.

I've done that once, but only novels.
When it comes to non-fiction, I can only read a few a month (Bourdieu and Foucault sure aren't the easily read kind).

>> No.852093

>>852090

Yeah, I only read 2 non-fiction books in that time. And one of them was just a collection of criticism rather than abstract theory.

Bump for additions to the recommendation list and finding a photoshopfag to make the pic.

>> No.852880

I don't think we can do a single British list without it being massive, can we?

Surely it's better to maybe do separate 19th and then a 20th century fiction lists, then maybe a non-fiction / philosophy + history one?

What's anon's thoughts?

>> No.852900

>>852880

Is massiveness a problem? We could separate them by pre-20th century and 20th century and beyond to cut down on size, I suppose. The fiction/nonfiction separation might be a tad too much, as there isn't much nonfiction to speak of.
