I don't recognise even a single one of these guys.

It's a famous photo taken at Faber & Faber (the main UK poetry publisher).

Left to right:

Louis MacNiece, Ted Hughes, T. S. Eliot (who was editor of F&F), Auden, Spender.

MacNiece isn't worth much. Ted Hughes is good. Eliot is Eliot. Auden is OK if you like that sort of thing but obviously uber-faggy. Spender is a semi-fag and not worth much.

Auden is exceptional, whether you like him or not, and a much better poet than Hughes. As for Macneice and Spender, you're certainly underrating them.

Auden wrote verse for businessmen who "chortle" and wrinkly Oxford dons with spectacles, Hughes wrote verse for the living

they both wrote in such an emotional and feminine way. after u read real books on monetary policy or finance, marxist stuff seems so corny.

Who's the guy standing?

>>25255729
Eliot is the only guy from that picture worth reading nowadays. Hughes is ok too, but he's just that, okay.
>>
>>25257005
Tolstoy
???
Goncharov
???
Turgenev
Ostrovsky

I don't read cyrillic either, but I know some Greek.
>>
>>25257301
Though even if you couldn't read cyrillic, you could still recognize Tolstoy and Turgenev because they have very unmistakable faces.

Count Lev always looked like he was mildly indignant about something that happened moments before the photos were taken

I luvs me some non sequiturs. Dude, this is \lit\ not \sp\. Sheesh.
>>
>>25257552
the two who you didn't list are Dmitry Grigorovich and Alexander Druzhinin. Never heard of either one and they don't seem to be important anyhow, just saying it for anyone interested.
>>
>>25259641
actually, I just remembered, Dostoevsky mentions "Polinka Saks" in Demons and that was written by Druzhinin. I think Pyotor Stepanovich was making fun of someone for reading it?
>>
>>25257450
You haven't read either you sorry dumbfuck
