Huh?

Isn't it true that the novel was considered "fluff" intended for women to read whereas men read newspaper articles, letters & essays about "important" issues?

Yeah, that's true to a degree, but not nearly as much as we'd like to think, it was actually more true in England than America. Like film today, novels have always generally been considered the lesser art form... and of course the invention of the dime-store novel didn't help. But most of the greats of this time, were still all primarily novelists

Did you see the play at the village theatre a few years back about Ezra Pound? It pretty much depicted him as a predjuiced, insane, egotist.
