Imagine the letters between those two if they were together.

Woolf had horrible taste. Joyce had too though.

>>9770064
She was exceptionally snobby. She hated Joyce at first because he was a nobody who could write like a god, while she grew up only respecting the aristocracy. I'm sure she loved every word of Ulysses, but didn't want to admit it for a while.

Where can I read about Joyce's tastes? All I know is that his taste is pretty predictable and he references well known classics, but I have no idea what he actually enjoyed to read or what he hated.

Authors are notorious for jealousy or vehemently toxic towards other authors who don't apply to their aesthetic.

What about Joyce's taste was horrible, besides the fact that he didn't like Puskin and though that there were no worthwhile philosophers since Kant?

Disliking Goethe and believing Ibsen was a better playwright than Shakespeare are solid grounds for calling shit taste.
And Aristotle was the single most boring philosopher ever.

Goethe is wider than he is deep. Good but I can see how one would dislike him. Especially Joyce.

Ibsen was a much better writer of characters than Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote some great characters that were complex externally (Hamlet, Iago, Falstaff, etc.) but Ibsen literally created the Modernist hero as he/she exists still in literature and film. His plays have almost no external plot pushed on them, the characters could be sitting in solitary confinement and they would still make for a great play. The characters are the entire momentum of his plays. It is a lot harder to pull off than it seems.

Besides, Joyce said he'd take shakespeare as his choice of book on a desert island. Even Joyce knew that Shakespeare was infinitely valuable.
