/lit/ - Literature

Moreso then any other book this has influenced the way that I think about literature, criticism, creativity, our conception of what constitutes genius in regards to creativity and general differences between the classicists and moderns (romantics/rationalists) in the aforementioned categories. The only people who read Babbitt anymore are a certain traditionalist stripe of American conservatives and even if they do Babbitt it's probably not this book. I'd recommend his entire bibliography.
