how to write literary criticism? Anonymous 2016-01-09 12:12:41 Post No. 7562151 [Report] [View this topic]

so, /lit/ i have a problem

my essays have structural issues. they're more collections of observations than statements on the work. i don't usually have a single theses as the backbone of the essay unless it's a comparative study. i don't want to be a complete aspie but i also don't want to sound like a crazy hobo.

do you know of any books that can help me structure my thoughts? i don't mean one of those "here's how to do introductions and here's how to MLA guides", i'm aware of the formal requirements. i need something a bit more substantial.

"Women" is a noun, OP, not an adjective. The word you're looking for is "female". Hope this helps.

I was not aware of that.

Doesn't that make the whole eternal rape and "ravaging her body" stuff from hell, which is mentioned very frequently, pretty far out there for kids?

Hey /lit/,

I've read most of the Camus/Sartre canon recently and now I was thinking of reading Kierkegaard but I've seen people saying I should first read Hegel. So, which books should I start with?

To read Hegel you need to read Kant. To read Kant you need to read Hume. To read Hume you need to read Descartes etc etc.

TL;DR start with the Greeks

Pic related is my pick.
I saw someone post about these vintage contemporaries and picked up a few that seemed interesting.
This one was really great. I would never had found it if I hadn't looked in the publishing line.
Tommy P even gives his regards on the back cover.

Good morning fellow /lit/izens,

I'm feeling quite generous today. Comment with your Kindle email address (found through your amazon account) and one book that you want and I will send it to you for free. Limit one per customer, don't be greedy. I'll only be on for another half hour or so.
