Are all the greatest works of literature really just written in the 19th century?

first (you) must define what a "great work of literature" is. until then we're just tilting at windmills.

Most of those were not in fact written in the 19th century.

As much as I like Melville, 20th century > 19th century

No, I wasn't around to write stuff yet.

We can use my work as an example of a great work of literature to help figure this out.

anon, as entertaining as your seems to be, and it is entertaining, I really think you will struggle to find quality beta or alpha or sigma readers without paying them. obviously fiverr is the obvious choice but broke anons would also bite. it doesn't need to be alot.

I've paid readers for other stuff before. Their advice is usually pretty stock, no? Rather than whatever someone looking to make a buck recently read about in a writing instructional, I'd prefer crafting any revisions around what people genuinely interested in the material think up to share with me. But that's just me.

No. Some of them were written in the 18th.
