Matt, I agree with your ideas. Every era has to find the writers that represent the mood or preferences of its reading public. The pulp era allowed writers that might not have gained a foothold because they were different than what went before. We probably know of the best writers from that time period, the others have gone by the wayside. Meantime, the ones we remember actually got published. Maybe they wouldn't have if there was no pulp (i.e. easily produced) fiction. Who knows who the great writers of our time will be? We don't know yet, but we will be the ones choosing them.
