Borges, Woolf

[alice wellintown]

VW is every bit as great as TRP. I do not expect readers here to
appreciate her, as they might appreciate JJ, but how many here would
put elizabeth bishop and eliot or yeats or pound on the same list?  in
part, of course, it is a male bias that is deep in the assessment of
literature generally; the male dominated academy has, and the
P-industry is an extension of this continued hegenomy, a moby-dick;
this bias in the american novel is greater of course, as fielder and
others have suggested, the american novel is a male novel, but even in
england, where george eliot, the brontes, austin, as woolf outlines
the great tradition of sisters of shakespeare, the dicks make the
greats in their own image.
