thomas hardy
>>8287978
no but I have read an introductory book to the victorians
I also happen to have read many of the names I posted
(I hardly read anything after the death of Queen Victoria and I don't read any foreign literature)
>>8287987
That's depressing AND boring since modernism is infinitely more interestinf than Victorians
>>8287994
maybe, but most of the people starting off in literature only feel that way because they don't understand the victorians well enough to enjoy them

That's true, but i feel they were so concerned with being preachy they lost sight of presenting it well often
And fuuuuck Tennyson was a mopey shit
Wuthering Height. It's savage.
