>>11492620
1920s American media is so disgusting; I do everything I can to forget about it. I also don't understand why you'd say the 1870s was the most literary decade, because I cannot think of any relevant literature from then. Is it something to do with history that you have in mind? I can roughly agree in reverse order though.

My choice is 1760s. Voltaire, Johnson, Gibbons and Rousseau are active. Tristram Shandy is being written. People are reading, writing and learning more than they ever have or will. And the most literary nation the world has ever seen, literally founded on philosophy, is beginning to awaken.
