Literary Circles of Influence



You could probably guess that Shakespeare had some sort of creative influence on Jane Austen, but this handy infographic from Longshot magazine carries it a bit further, linking Tolstoy to Jim Morrison and Lord Byron to JJ Abrams. I find the Tolstoy to Muhammad Ali connections especially interesting.

Silly graphic. The web of influence is vastly more extensive than this. Each of those writers read thousands of books, and learned from each--if not what to do, what not to do.
