What Makes Great Literature — Great Literature?

<p>When I was getting my bachelor&rsquo;s degree in philology we were taught to analyze fiction texts of different epochs and genres, to understand how these texts are constructed. Throughout my studies I was constantly trying to figure out what made classical texts of Russian (or foreign) literature so great. Why they became classical texts? What made them so incredible and important for&nbsp;<em>generations</em>&nbsp;of people that they are now still considered to be standards of great texts?</p> <p>It is a very complicated question and I think there is no single correct answer to it, but now I have finally come up with sort of a list of particular things which distinguish a quality fiction text from an average one.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/thought-thinkers/what-makes-great-literature-great-literature-aa355241defb"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
