trannies

ask me in another 80 years, but i'd hazard a guess that this century's literature will veer away from the limited-scope speculative science and psychology, human narratives, etc. and new authors will embrace a new renaissance ideal, with the masterpieces of the 21st century spanning the mastery of many technical disciplines, unprecedentedly wide nets of human experiences, abandonment of cyclical archetypes, etc.

Okay but what are you getting at? Do you mean our interests will be all encompassing?

I know I'm over simplifying literature, but what's explicitly wrong with what I said? Gothic literature rose in the 19th century and the same with Scifi in the 20th.

Surely the rise of sci-fi pales a bit in comparison to the modernist tradition that spanned the globe? Further, the modernist tradition was fundamentally interested in the OPPOSITE of what you've suggested. They didn't care about the cosmos; they were interested in the phenomenology of human experience/the durée, hence Ulysses, ISoLT, The Waves, etc.

If anything, the cosmos were hardly an afterthought in their works.

Society's interest in maps.

Fun fact: I read this book when I was 14 because my cousin who was a librarian lent it to me. My young teenage self thoroughly enjoyed it, and most girls that talked to me about it after recognizing the cover thought I was gay. They were pretty right.

>1800s literature is "wow only 12% of humans can actually read, so if you can muster writing more than 100 pages we'll not only publish it, but you'll be regarded as a literary genius until people figure out how dumb you are, and by then you'll be so ingrained into history that it'll be blasphemous to criticize you"
>1900s literature is James Joyce and nothing else

What a dumb post. Why would you generalize entire centuries like that? And why would you follow up with a question no one here can possibly answer?
