Re: Classic literature thread

[(Anonymous)]

Are we defining 'classics' as 'old and critically acclaimed' or just 'old and still around'? Because I like a lot of old stuff, but its acclaim may be questionable in many cases.

Regardless, I still nurse an unquenchable fondness for Jules Verne ('Journey to the Centre of the Earth' and '20,000 Leagues' in particular), Alexandre Dumas (Musketeers, Monte Cristo, Valois Romances), Victor Hugo (Les Miserables and Hunchback), Arthur Conan Doyle (Holmes, obviously, but also the Lost World), Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island), Jack London (Call of the Wild), William Blake (I have an illustrated complete works, it's amazing), Maurice LeBlanc (the Arsene Lupin stories), William Hope Hodgson (Carnacki the Ghost Finder, The Night Land), the Brothers Grimm (again, illustrated editions are amazing - I have one with Arthur Rackham's illustrations), Mikhail Bulgakov (Master & Margarita, in translation) ... I could go on. I love a bunch of old stuff.

I tend to favour genre stories, as you can see. Sci-fi, crime, horror, adventure, fantasy, fable and mythology. I tend to steer clear of war stories, more straight social dramas (hence why Austen and I never got on so well), and a lot of American classic lit disagrees with me for some reason, mostly for style more than substance I think (London is a clear exception, but I grew up with 'Call of the Wild'). I like a lot of stuff from the muddy early days of genre fiction, where fantasy, horror and science fiction were still all muddled up and not clearly delineated yet. And I will, ever and always, adore a good swashbuckler.
