Deleting transcendental homelessness claim

[edit]

Original editor of this minor section did not provide a citation for the claim and same editor's entry on transcendental homelessness is inaccurate, misquoted and the original editor admits on the talk page of that article they do not know the meaning of transcendental homelessness. Ping me if you believe in error. Louise000 (talk) 16:46, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a good change to me. I read this yesterday and had no idea what that was all about. Novellasyes (talk) 17:58, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Needing more copyediting

[edit]

Some words and phrases I could recognize and rework into better English. But some problem items would likely be apparent only to someone (much) better versed in Deutsch. Items like 'epoque' or 'thirt' are understandable from simple pronunciation problems. But other associations will be needed to replace further misplaced words/phrases.

"He addicted a chapter of his essay The Art of the Novel (L´Art du roman) to interpretate it."

I wonder what 'addicted' might be close to? 'appended'? 'included'?

"reprehends Vienesse fin de siecle culture based on kitch"

Okay, "fin de siecle" I know, 'kitch' is likely 'kitsch', but what is the best replacement for 'reprehends'?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Shenme (talk) • contribs) 23:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I tried to make it clearer. --Mafal 11:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
