Hegel was a dumbfuck. Nothing he wrote is worth reading.

this. anyone who managed to delude a generation of gay frenchies into writing nigh incomprehensible garbage (continentals no less) is not worth the time and/or effort

How about you make an actual post about it instead of spamming, faggot.

Excellent author. The Portrait of a Lady is a great novel.

>That bit in The Golden Bowl where James spends 3 pages describing Mr. Verver thinking to himself for a couple of seconds

i took an american lit 1860-1910ish course a year ago and we read three henry james works. Washington Square made me obsessive over his stuff

Who is the better writer of very short poems, Dowson or Landor? I think it to be Dowson, if only for that very famous poem beginning They are not long, the weeping and the laughter. Wistfulness is an emotion overrepresented in literature: Dowson, not Shakespeare or Dante, has given us its ultimate representation.

>>8806227
Dowson sounds pretty interesting. What would be a good starting place with him?

If you want a real source you might want to check out Montaigne's "On educating children" or, for something modern, Dewey's "Experience and education."

Like 30 and 100 pages, respectively.

What makes you think it was censored? Did you buy it expecting graphic depictions of sex with a minor?

>>8806084
from reviews it seemed to be a little more controversal, but this version seems rather tame, so yes is that answer to that

who's that qt?

>>8806036
Hegel.

>>8806036
Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche are the three bad dudes who rip the mask off ideology the hardest.

>>8806036
Sublime object of ideology
but before that watch his films:
The Perverts Guide to Ideology
The Perverts Guide to Cinema

Read some secondary info on zizek, I would recommend the Introducing series - get the one on Zizek, it goes through his whole philosophy easily.
From my perspective Zizeks ideology can be seen as another rebranding of Stirner's spooks, probably wouldn't suggest delving into Stirner at this point in time but if you search up Stirner Spooks explanation you could probably find something.

Don't read Hegel outta the blue - you'll want to neck yourself.

I for one am deeply impressed

pretty sure most university undergraduates in lit are required to read canterbury untranslated. Whenever we discussed it we read it "untranslated". It's not that big of a deal.

>>8806033
Anyone who isn't an idiot can do this. Fuck off.

Robert Aldrich's Colonialism and Homosexuality might be up your alley.

Make sure to remove as many unnecessary "ands" as you can. They disrupt the flow of a sentence. See whether the sentence needs to be comma'd or just separated into two new sentences. Ideally, you wanna be able to read it out loud without feeling too awkward about it.

Consider revision to the present tense, might work well.

I don't like sci-fi as a genre, personally. Not sure what other notes to give you. I was bored reading this, the world-building was tedious and took away from what little action was happening.

Doesn't seem that far fetched.
Doesn't particularly matter to me either.
I'm much happier with something that's as inconsequential as this being in doubt than having people try to portray the truth and coming up lacking.

How much has he donated to helping children in troubled homes?

That is the amount of truth behind it.

I stand by what I said in my 9th grade book report. "It" stinks.

He married his 12 year old cousin didn't he?

Pretty good writer though. I liked his story about "The Literary Life" of what ever his name was.

He explained it: because Beatrice, a redeemed soul straight from the Empyrean, cared about saving Dante's soul so much that she left the perfect contemplation of God's face and descended into Hell itself to find the one man Dante respected most, living or dead, and entreated him to help save Dante's soul. Virgil, who of course died before Christ and can never pass through the fire atop Purgatory to Eden, let alone proceed to Heaven, is still the noblest of the pagan souls in Limbo. He leaves the Hall of Kings and helps Dante like a loving stern father because:
1. A blessed lady asked him to.
2. He respects Dante as a poet (the new greatest voice of his beloved Italy) and wants him to win the salvation Virgil can never have (as he died shortly before Christ came).
3. He gets to go see Purgatory, and take a vacation from Limbo.
4. Beatrice has an ass like my ex.

The "limbo" for those before christ never made a lot of sense to me.

Just limbo until the second coming. Relax Anon.
