>>8182781
i cannot recognize all of these people give me list of names please
>>8182781
I don't recognize some of these people, but you're definitely right about female "writers" being shit.
This is a good, subtle troll.

I really like the inclusion of Miyazaki. What's /lit/'s opinion on him?
>>8182781
I feel that Cervantes is the best example of the dead author theory. I feel that as an individual author he cannot be put above someone like Dante or Shakespeare, but he somehow created one of the most powerful works in history. If we were to talk about books, Don Quixote would certainly be in the top tier, but for authors there is another discussion to be made.
>Dostoevsky above Tolstoy
>>8182915
He's not an author in the same way the rest of them are, so he shouldn't even be on the list, as insincere as it may be.
>>8182915
miyazaki is a hack and if you like him in the /lit/ sense you have shit taste
>>8182911
yeah man I just got back from a Petrarch reading, it was dope.
>>8182781
Add Milton to the Olympus tier and you're fairly on-point
>>8182944
>Miyazaki is a hack
Miyazaki's works are in the tradition of the myth and the fairy tale but transcend both those mediums; in his best films, like in all great works of art, the highest human ideals are expressed and brought to light in a way that is unique and meaningful, and parts of the human condition which are most valuable are elucidated in a unique and beautiful way - which, really, is the project of all good art. Needless to say, they are far better than the arthouse trash you probably watch to convince yourself and others that you're patrish.

As wonderful as the Souls format is I feel he's treading water creatively.
>>8183073
But their bibliography is all shit, reddit.
Also here's another list with top-notch authors.
They are already ranked too.Cervantes,Dante>Petrarch,Shakespeare,Calderon de la Barca>Ariosto,Milton,Tasso
>>8183117
Ok let me rephrase
>The only female writers are in shit section
Where would you put Rand and Woolf?
>>8182915
Thanks for not making a shit thread about it.I mean it, thanks.
>>8183121
Mid-tier both
>>8182924
Been thinking of reading La Galatea, but everyone tells me he never surpassed El Quijote. Should i read Lope de Vega instead?
>>8182781
>Flaubert on par with Dostoievsky
>Kafka above shit tier
>King on par with Tolkien
>now even more objective
>>8182781
>Orwell
>not shit
And I don't even want to go into your Kafka and Goethe placement tbqh pham
>>8182781
un gringo que leyó el quijote TRADUCIDO cree que sabe de qué va la cosa. baka
>>8183502
What's wrong about Goethe?
>>8182781
>shakespeare on any list
ha
>>8182781
Whose that Asian guy on the far left of the Demi-God tier?
>>8182781
why is miyazaki that high?
>>8182781
>Takahata
>above Miyazaki
I agree with this list.
>>8182915
the guy is a hack.
>>8183219
No, if you want to read renaissance Spanish literature I would encourage you to read La Vida es Sueño from Calderón de La Barca. Lope de Vega was ok but Quevedo was way better in my opinion.
>>8182924
I don't see how that has anything to do with death of the author. I think you're saying 'Don Quixote' was a fluke whereas for it to be related to death of the author we'd need something like 'Don Quixote is great despite the aims Cervantes'. Maybe if you think Don Quixote is incredible because it has some kind of commentary or message that Cervantes could never have imagined it could have, it would fit.
>>8183392
>Ayn Rand above Poe
Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Proust and Joyce are the top tier. Rest are much of a muchness.
>>8183044
wow
>>8182781
Miyazaki in great tier? Did he publish anything other than books regarding his movies or is it because of his movies?
>>8182781
>all women on literal shit tier
top
lek
>>8184852
He did publish the manga Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, if you want to count that.
Shakespeare literally created half of modern English, so he should get a little more than just great
>>8182781
>orwell above kafka
>>8182781
Prove that that list is objective.
I'll wait.
>>8183746
their placement wasn't good enough mlikely
>>8182781
Is that fucking "Anime was a mistake" Miyazaki on the same tier as Shakespeare?
>>8182781
>wilde
>MID
>>8183392
For what reason is Hesse put so high? I like him a lot, but I don't understand.
>>8183121
i would put Woolf in above-mid and Rand in the trash.
>>8182915
the Nausicaa manga is the greatest manga out there.

Nigga wut.

Not the person you replied to, but I read Siddartha and Demian and really liked both, but am having a harder time with Steppenwolf. Can you suggest any secondary reading? I've heard he's heavily influenced by Jung.
>>8182781
No Chaucer? I'd say he goes in the Great Tier if that's where Shakespeare and Dante are.
Put petrarch in there.
>>8188368
He already is.
>no DFW
>>8188448
oops sorry m8 i confused the cowls.
>>8182781

>>8182781
I really wanna know who the thrifty Dante lookalike is who is also somehow above actual Dante
Why do you plebs hate Poe so much?
Because you were introduced to him in school?
>>8182781
>fucking Jules Verne
>no Racine, Corneille, Huysmans, Saint-John Perse or Valéry
Truly terrible
>>8189293
