What are your intentions? To read every work he was influenced by so you can write like him?

Ruskin, Ruskin, Ruskin Ruskin and Ruskin
Does anyone know Prousts political leanings?
>>9119571
the scope and extent to which these artists interrelate must result in considerable frustration on your behalf, I must presume.
Just read all of In Search of Lost Time and take note of all the novels and plays he mentions.
>no Walter Pater
You all disgust me
Zola and the rest of the Dreyfusards who were his friends and heroes?
