She begun writing it at 18. I begun writing my first book at like 16.

Many if not most of its themes come from her parents, and a handful from PB & Shelley.

>ywn hang out with a group of independently notable authors at some short respite in history, like the English romantics in Italy or Paris in the 20s or road trips with the beats

Her parents were influential as fuck
She married a guy and got to hang out with his friends, and they pretty much defined what romantic literature in english is.

She had some advantages you don't.

Instead of feeling sorry for yourselves why not just write what you're going to fucking write? Start or finish the story/essay/whatever. Start and finish it. It doesn't matter what age you are when you accomplish something. What does it fucking matter as long as you do it? That's the achievement, not the age at which it's done.

>> No.8620685

Frankenstein isn't that good. It's decent but there's a reason it's themes faded into obscurity with people thinking the monster was called Frankenstein

Isn't that what we're emulating now, though?
Obviously the great books of our generation haven't been written yet, but we're at ground zero of the subject matter.

>> No.8620726

I'm 56 and finally have something to write about that has verisimilitude.


Fucking punks...

I never read Frankenstein. I usually avoid books with conservative or anti-Semitic undertones.

But is it worth it?

>> No.8620784

>>8620755

If you're exploring early romanticism, Byron, classic horror, or the legitimacy of Playing God, then yes. Otherwise, it might not be worth going out of your way for outside of historical relevance and fully understanding the reference

This sums it up, >>8620784, I didn't like it but it is quite culturally important. I thought the 30's and 40's b-movies were better or watch the 80's "the Fly" in a religious context.

Rimbaud was regularly forced to memorize hundreds of lines of latin verse as a kid or he would receive a paddlin'

he was basically forced to have a shitty, miserable childhood to gain his talent

there's a reason why he stopped giving a shit about poetry when he grew older
