Holy fuck have men written *anything* good?

idg the appeal of emily and charlotte's jane is quite overrated.
austen is enough to put men to shame. supreme wit. goat english novelist.

>Most popular women's novel of any era is about her escaping her lover and "finding herself"
From Pride and Prejudice to Eat Pray Love, the woman's novel hasn't changed in 200 years. What a horrible feat.

Why are women better sex writers than men? Is it because of their superior clitoris?

Sappho's had a man's hard desu.

She talks about women like a guy and that's why she's good.

>>8542791
How does one write like a biological sex. Of which code is in the gene which makes one strictly influenced into writing poetry like the opposite sex. I'm very curious.

Emily's good, but her sisters were plebs.

Colleen McCullough and Mary Renault blow at least 99.999% of other published authors out of the water.

>>8542951
I love Renault, will try McCullough

>>8542994
Yeah, if you love one you'll love the other as well. I've only read McCullough's books set in ancient Rome, but she has an award winning series set in colonial Australia and one set in early 20th century (I think) Italy.

If you're so mad about the inferiority of female writing, try to create something better than Shakespeare, or Milton, or Dante, or that guy who sits next to you in class.

I've never hear or seen a woman use the term "goat" ever in my life.

Anyway, if you don't think Jane Austen comes close to the best of the best in male authors, you're a pleb. There is a reason why Jane Austen is almost unanimously loved by male literature academics, and why reading her was a supreme mark of refinement in the 19th century amongst "Janeites" and the elite, intellectual classes.

The anon you accused of being a butthurt female is right about Austen, whether a femanon or not.

Stop judging everything within literature as a power ranking and contest and then getting outraged when people disagree with your useless power ranking that otherwise has helped destroy the little literary discussion left. It does not help it's politically motivated and you will not stop because of it.

If you focus so much on talent itself you lose the point of the literature and get more into the author. Which is far more stupid than you think women who contributed to literature and are lauded, are.

>>8543268
Not the same anon.

This is exactly what you have done.

>>8543267
> I'm saying that Jane Austen is no where near a talented writer as Faulkner.

Faulkner's not even close.

Jane Austen is just below Shakespeare tier. Very few writers come close to the satire, wit and ingenuity (free indirect style, comic realism, the whole pastoral narrative realism)

Faulkner's good, but he's far more derivative, and less witty.

>>8543308
That anon didn't make a power ranking.

>>8543303
>>It is the same. This whole thread is a power ranking.

Not really?

>>8543308
How. I'm saying don't make power rankings therefore I'm making power rankings of authors....?

That doesn't make any sense, Get a better contrivance to argue. My point is entirely solid, and hardly debatable.

“I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”


― Virginia Woolf

>>8543072
Certainly, and your summary was so reductive as to make it incorrect. Elizabeth does not escape Collins, nor does she 'find herself' in Darcy. The escape and find plot is conventional of the sentimental novels of the 18th century (Burney, Richardson), but Austen is definitely not in the mode (but for the first half of Northanger Abbey).

>>8543281
>>No, I'm saying that Jane Austen is no where near a talented writer as Faulkner.
You're right, she's lightyears ahead of him.

>>8543363
I doubt she's that far away.

>>8543359
lmao that's pretty good from her. I like it

>>8542638
I like the others but what did Virginia Woolf write other than Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

>>8542638
>does anyone else unironically like women writers?


Some of those authors are good, but none of them are any better than male writers of a similar caliber.

Virginia Wolfe is the one I want to like, but I'm afraid I'd find insufferably dull dear old boy.

Gertrude Stein is unfortunate. Flannery O'conner is really good but she ded before she really climaxed.

Bronte and the rest all just wrote about women sitting in rooms and describing them staring at the drapes in endless detail.

>>8543338
Dunno why you would think they are the same posters. They aren't.

>>8543377
I wouldn't say she's light years ahead of him. Maybe just a couple of notches ahead.

>>8543429
>Bronte and the rest all just wrote about women sitting in rooms and describing them staring at the drapes in endless detail.

Confirmed for not having read them.

>>8543429
>Virginia Wolfe is the one I want to like, but I'm afraid I'd find insufferably dull dear old boy.
man up loser

I was going to go through all of this and tell you how you've obviously never read any of them, or not since hs (last semester), but everyone else can already tell. To refute this please list better men who were their contemporaries for each woman listed.
>Bronte and the rest all just wrote about women sitting in rooms and describing them staring at the drapes in endless detail.
lol no but that would've been good too

>>8543429
