Shakespeare was the pulp writer of his day (mad love here but be honest/real about it).
He put a fucking bear in a scene cuz someone paid him to.
You've probably seen that post floating around on off about the lit fic/creative writing teacher who poo-poo'd a student's love of Terry Pratchett (one of the greatest to ever play in this sphere) because he was a "pulp" writer.
Well, so was Shakespeare. And that's not a bad thing. But get off your high horse about it. The pulp writers shaped and defined the arts. You wouldn't have noir/detective stories like we do without Raymond Chandler, which means very likely, no urban fantasy in one of the most popular ways - like Dresden Files and all of the similar styles of that. Of course the genre is broader than that. Or cyberpunk in many ways, which is a SF evolution of the noir genre in many ways similar critiques done in a high tech world of corruption in govt/business levels, societal issues that the early noir also tackled and brought up, social inequality, all of that.
Christmas was redefined by a pulp writer, Charles Dickens.
Robert E. Howard was a pulp writer with Conan. How much did that do for Sword and Sorcery. And there are many more.
