19th century vs. 20th century

19th century no contest

There is no objective greatness by which one can elect a century of superior literature. The works of the 19th century were recognized by the people of the 19th century and onwards, but the works of the 20th century could only be recognized by those living in the 20th century, onwards. By that measure, you might say the literature of the 19th century has had more time to be regarded as the pinnacle of literature, but this does not mean that it is better by degrees.
