Nice list, anon. I have read most of this, though not as much Fielding and a different Radcliffe. Not a fan of the latter, though I can see her significance.
I'd forgotten about Fanny - thanks! Have had this book for ages but not yet read it.
I was thinking of reading Edgeworth's Belinda, since it's another novel cited with approval by an Austen character, though this takes us into the C19.

[Anonymous No.19150103]

>>19149549
Austen herself is of course C19, or that reference couldn't be made. Weird that she bridges that tiny gap between the outbreak of the first and second wave of major English Romantic poets! Even Byron is to some extent lodged in the18C together with her (Swift comes to mind) at least in terms of concern and manner, along with Edgeworth. Of the lattermost I've only read Rackrent, although it's been awhile. So..
Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot, or Hardy? Which of these four C19's do you most enjoy?

>>19150103
Yes, I agree that Austen belongs more to the C18 than C19, basically closing off that era in the English novel. I've never thought of it before, but now you mention it her work does seem almost oblivious to high romanticism, except for the gothic strand. It's also weird to think that she was as recent for Joyce as Joyce is for us - they are truly worlds apart.
Of the four C19 novelists you mention, for me it goes Dickens = Eliot > Hardy >>> Thackeray. I would put Trollope somewhere in the second half of that hierarchy, and the best of the Brontes ahead of Trollope. Conrad goes ahead of them all, even in his pre-C20 work, but he's completely modern to me, and has little in common with those others.
So, into C20: Conrad, Forster, Joyce or Lawrence?

Glad you r8 Dickens as high as you do because there's perhaps no less understood writer on this board; for me it's Dickens over Eliot primarily because Eliot's too artistically spare and proto psychological (modern) I do however recognize that Hardy's her pretty son, i.e. has very little to do with Dickens (although quite alot to do with Faulkner!). Nonetheless your rating's about right, so no issue taken.
It's a temptation to go full on autistic and make a claim for Anthony Powell so far as the 20th c. is concerned, or even Wolfe or Greene, but I guess I'll roll with Joyce, despite his relatively meager production. Lawrence rubs me wrong, Conrad's uneven, and Forster I consistently confuse with Ford fwr (Howard's End, Parade's End, The Good Soldier, Passage to India, The March of Literature...all a little confusing). That said I've read quite a bit of Conrad so I must like him although Nostromo was a disappointment.

I also far prefer Dickens to Eliot, though that's because of his superior humour and language, rather than any distaste for her psychological turn. But as you suggest, she still has to stand with Dickens (albeit standing back-to-back, he facing to the past and she to the future), because of her influence.
I think we'd be BFFs in a C18-19 book club, anon, but it looks as though we would part ways when we got to C20. I've never read any Powell, though would not group him with the eC20 authors, chronologically. Wolfe (Thomas?) is also a different proposition entirely, though maybe a typo for Woolf, who is great but does not hold a candle to Joyce. Honestly I can't make sense of the 'meager' comment - for me, Ulysses and FW together outweigh all other 1900-1950 English-language novels combined.
I'm with you on Lawrence - horrid overwrought stuff that only seems modern because of the sex.
Greene makes for nice holiday reading, but I've never read anything that requires rereading.
Forster hasn't aged very well, except for Passage to India - I've never read any Ford Madox Hueffer (except for his collaborations with Conrad).
I've heard Conrad falls off in his later work, but I've read everything up to Under Western Eyes and all of that, to me, is sublime, for the perspectivism, irony, and deceptive language. Nostromo is full of these elements, so I love it too - but from your post it seems that you're not so keen on modernism, so I can see why Nostromo would not appeal.
For me, then, it's Joyce > Conrad > Forster >>> Lawrence
Everything falls apart from 1950-2000, so I'll leave it to you to propose the key players for r8ing

>Rokeach argues that the change from studying right-wing authoritarianism in the 40’s to left-wing authoritarianism in the 50’s can be explained in terms of the fascist and Communist threats during the respective periods. He maintains that the time has now come to broaden the approach and to ask whether it is not possible to distinguish between “open” and “closed” minds irrespective of particular ideologies. Rokeach urges that we differentiate sharply between the structure of ideological systems and their content: an individual, for example, may accept all the traditional pieties of liberal belief and yet hold them in a dogmatic way; or, again, some belief systems, undogmatic in content but authoritarian in structure, may advocate tolerance in an intolerant way. Rokeach further argues that while we know a great deal about ethnic intolerances, we know comparatively little about intolerance among Freudians, Unitarians, liberals, literary critics, or professors of psychology.

>he to the past, she to the future
This isn't true in a major way, especially when one considers that what Dickens : Joyce :: Eliot : Henry James. Dickens's novels are constructed via omniscient 'chat' from the flotsam and jetsam of literature, linguistics, history, dead and living fashion, industry, religion, fairy tale, myth, everything, if burdened with aims primarily 'social' (and who has been more influential in this regard? Answer: no one). His knowledge of London is every bit as sure as 'Joyce his Dublin' and his cast of characters subsequently far more broad (if only slightly less intimate). Essentially what Joyce did was to *assume* Dickens's 'chat' as a method for 'objective' novel building; what the D narrator 'knew' *to make* the J technician 'used' *to build*. Were Joyce's aims at all social? Ultimately, no, they were personal: a kind of justifying the ways of Joyce to man in a manner so fabulous that less knowledgeable or 'knowing' 'takes' were and still are bound to get sucked in; e.g. the Ireland that Joyce ironically rejected! Though there is in fact a D-Day it doesn't relate to Dickens; OTOH Bloomsday isn't Christmas.
Wow. I'm almost feeling as if literature is somehow important! Perhaps it ceases to be once people cease to be..
Nostromo's an interesting novel, a colorful novel, even a somewhat fun novel, but hollow at the core. Is this hollowness what allows notions like 'modernism' to ring true?
Let's see, what to r8? (I take no issue with your previous r8ing btw, and was glad to witness Dickens's sudden elevation in your esteem). Why not great English Men of Letters?

>The Escape of Mr. Trimm: His Plight and other Plights by Irvin s. Cobbs

A collection of short stories. Each story varies from genre to genre but mostly their dramas. My favorite stories from this is fishhead and the escape of Mr. Trimm. Fishhead is a great horror story set in the murky swamps of the south, it also inspired H.P. Lovecraft to write the shadow over innsmouth. Mr Trimm is also excellent, the whole thing is a shaggy dog story disguised it self as a thriller. It’s strange how the author, Irvin Cobbs, was once a famous author but only a few know him now.

> The Adventures of Jonathan Corncob, Loyal American Refugee by anonymous

One of my favorite books. It’s about this guy Jonathan Corncob telling his early life during the American revolution. It deals with accidental pregnancy, naval warfare, slavery in the Caribbean, obscure biblical names, getting your hair pulled off by a hurricane, ghost chickens, switching sides and feather and tarring a man. It also has George Washington in the mix.

The novel was made just after the war of independence and fiercely criticized as more offensive then Tobias Smollet (he was very offensive) though it isn’t very edgy to today’s society, it can cross the line at times. It’s very critical of American which is why it never published in there.

Actually you raise a good point about Dickens and the city: that clearly signals his modernity, and is a direct influence on Joyce (as the latter admitted). I agree too with the polyphony in the narrative voice too (that's what I meant by language). It's in character and plot that I think he faces mostly backwards - both have more in common with Smollett and Fielding than Eliot, James, or Joyce, though I admit too that beneath even Joyce's most realistic characters are stock or comic bases. But these are mere quibbles - in sum, we are both Dickensians, a rare thing on these boards.
I think hollowness is as good a description as any for modernism, but that doesn't mitigate ita importance for me.
Men of letters. Surely Coleridge gets the laurel. Johnson was a singular character, Chesterton tolerably droll, but neither are essential to the tradition. Auden I admit I'm unqualified to judge outside of his poetry. But Coleridge is unparalleled in his insights and his influence. He played a large part in introducing German idealism to English thought, changed the way in which we read Shakespeare, and was fundamental to English romanticism. The handful of serious poems he wrote are also among the best in the language.

In the way of cards, blows,..?
There was an Oulipo thread up yesterday that I considered addressing but refrained as it rapidly became mean-spirited.. fwiw. In your thread I bumped with the Thorne Smith but also suggested the Jarry biography.. fwtwaw.
Nice thread (which has run its course) you answered well in your final take if with a little more (studied?) reserve than previously.. After Edel's Henry James Richard Holmes' Coleridge is by far my (second) favorite 20th/21rst c bio of a literary character who wrote in English; though long, a page-turner, and wonderfully informative: so there's a rec, but you've probably read it!
Biographia's one of my favorite 'pieces of literature' for many reasons, none of which I'll go into as you've already listed (very generally) three. I'm also fond of The Friend, and read through his complete poetry just last Summer (it took what? two days? there's so little of it!)
So far as 'helpfulness' is concerned then Auden was my man when growing up although The Dyer's Hand felt a little bland upon reread not too long ago; weird that of the four he's by far the most successful poet; I prefer the longer poems.
Johnson and Chesterton are great in their ways but the strong association of C of E on the one hand, RC on the other hurt them, I think, although Lives of the Poets and 'Chesterton on Dickens' are unparalleled reading. Favorite Chesterton novel? Napoleon > Thursday (not a popular choice). ...I'll conclude with the notice that though Johnson's no Addison *Rasselas* is nonetheless a gem. Take care, anon

Bao Ninh - The Sorrow of War (1990)

Story of a North Vietnamese soldier who spent 9 years infiltrating the South. Starts after the war as he searches for bodies across the battlefields of his past. All his friends get killed, his girlfriend gets raped (in the North), and his life is bitter and barren.

Initially banned in Vietnam until 2006. Received critical acclaim in the West.

This is an unromantic view of war. His descriptions of drug-taking and desertion by his comrades lead to the ban as it was not the image of soldiers the Communist Party wanted to be shown. This is a good read for anyone who wishes to see the experience of "the other side" in a non-ideological way.

Sorry, anon, I've read it. I don't remember anything about it except that I quite enjoyed it.

Mainly because I can't really see many 4chan users having the patience to sit through 600 pages of what feels a lot like unironic Jewish propaganda. It was fun, but it was also extremely biased.

Insane stuff. First half is a depiction of the afterworld where men aimlessly wander about, waiting for their entrance into the Magnetic City. Second half is a sort of platonician Punch and Judy agora contest between a buffoon didactor who judges who's in who's out and greek-inspired fag chads arguing about God and revolution.
Haven't read the two subsequent volumes but I hear they're impressive though different.

Routledge covers are absolutely soulless. I published with them and they literally give you a set of 40 templates to choose from.
