What will /lit/ be like?

His death will be the final nail in literature's coffin. He's like the last of a dying breed of literary academics who doesn't analyze everything through the lens of feminism or racism or some other -ism.

Gene Wolfe will ascend and take his place as the world's preeminent scholar of literature and literary criticism.

It decline of rationality in academics is unnerving, but to say Hardy here is the last of a dying breed is silly. Plus, just because he's in the right group doesn't mean he isn't a moron

He analyzes everything through Freud and pretends he's doing it through Shakespeare.
His massive book on Shakespeare was originally a work on Freud.

Are you an ad for Gene Wolfe?
Because you try to work him into every thread on this board. I'm kind of surprised you haven't started a Gene Wolfe thread yet.
It could be that Bloom had prevented, by means of his brilliance, others from championing a non-sjw framework (e.g. identity, feminism, etc) for literary analysis and discussion.

In ways Bloom addressed issues of social responsibilities by being radical in his theories. I don't think there will be anyone exactly like him as popular as he was, as his legacy won't just wash away, but there should still be someone similar in attitude more or less.
