            It is impossible to take subjective measures for the entire human race into account, the point of a good list is to try and be as objective as possible, therefore, as much as it might be valuable to you, the list cannot take that into account.

        Other nations have strong literary and poetic traditions. I don't know how many languages you speak but reading something in its native language is so different than reading a translation it's unreal.

        People who aren't fluent speakers of English can't appreciate the craft and beauty of someone like Shakespeare, they just can't. Same thing for an English speaker who doesn't speak fluent Russian trying to read Karamazov. In fact the more complex and artistic the work, the less it can be properly appreciated in other languages.

        This makes it really impossible to claim that any one writer can be the best of them all. All you can realistically argue over is who is the best in a given language.

          only true for poetry, prose translates decently

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            Decently is fine for 80% of literary works, but if you're talking about advanced, artistic works it doesn't hold water. I'll give you an example. To clarify, this guy is a good writer but he's not the greatest or anything he's just an example.

            Natsume Souseki is a Japanese writer who wrote a book called, I am a Cat. Except the actual title of the book is Wagahai wa Neko de Aru. That translates, literally, to I am a Cat.

            The problem is Japanese has certain ways of referring to oneself that English does not have. The basic b***h "I" pronoun is Watashi, the basic b***h "to be" verb is tbh. Wagahai, and De aru, are only used by very, very high ranking, old fashioned aristocracy, usually by the Emperor himself.

            So to summarize, while Watashi wa Neko tbh(I am a cat), and Wagahai wa Neko de Aru(I am a cat), both mean literally the same thing, one promotes a tone, play on grammar, and insight into character that is completely and utterly absent in the translation. Not only absent, but incapable of being communicated.

      Shakespeare is the great writer in the history of the English language and that's that. I know it tickles your pickle to hold a different opinion because you think it makes you look cool, but really it only makes you look childish, and like you don't know what you're talking about, English has a huge and excellent literary tradition, one of the greatest of any language in history, and there is a reason one man is always at the top.

      His subjects may not interest you, that's common nowadays, and the formulaic plot structure of his plays was a sacrifice on the altar of commerce in his day. Even so, the prose is immaculate and beautiful, the ideas expressed range from grand to diminutive, but are always expressed with the perfect emotions necessary for the task, the characters are expertly constructed, with many being such iconic manifestations of humanity that they've been used as templates for the last 500 years of literary artistry.

      He is the greatest, and that's really all there is to say.

        They do. But they've been done far better. Shakespeare is indeed the template better writers have used to make better works.

          Look I’m not unsympathetic to the fact that he wrote his stories half a millennium ago, and that mankind has changed its tastes to things more personable and intimate in character, at least as far as stories go. Having said that everything I said is still correct, and I, as a fairly well read person, defy you to name me a story about the complete transformation of a man who has lost everything in the twilight of his years as Kind Lear.
