Why if I create something of the same quality of a classic work, the classic work will be better appreciated than the current one?

It doesn't matter if someone compose the 9th Symphony equivalent nowadays. Beethoven is better because he's older.

because a trully good piece of work needs to be digested through multiple audiences and repeated reading. it's not a big mac and writing isn't the way to get quick appraisal unless you just want to sell a lot and then be forgotten

Because too few people have experienced, heard about and were influenced by the new work.

But don't worry about such things, OP. There's no chance you'll ever make something as good as a classic work. You won't be underrated, I promise.

LOL, let's talk about the so-called "classics," won't we?

Homer was literally some guy who got drunk and sang songs. What a fag lol

Shakespeare was a PLAYWRIGHT, and was married to one of the least attractive actresses of his day.

Virgil? Take one letter out of his name and what do you get?

Historians have found Dante had a closet FULL of fedoras lmao

I mean COME ON.

In time it won't necessarily be.

If you make a friend who is as good as an old one you will still appreciate the loyalty of the first friend.

It's not a bad thing and its not like the new work will get 0 appreciation.

Also in time its not just quality that is taken into account but also influence. Many masterworks are not influential.

This is a good answer. The canon of literature shifts with time, but there are obvious cornerstones that shaped storytelling in ways too vast to ignore. Some classics now may disappear with time, but things like Homer and Virgil will remain simply BECAUSE they are good AND old.

Because you did it at a time when that classic was already old news and had been digested and regurgitated by the masses where likely you got it from at least in part or whole. Also you are a dickmouth and nobody likes you.

Shoulders of giants and stuff. /sci/ducks reinvent calculus in middle school all the time, because there's so many people and our curriculum is obviously leading towards it. In the modern would you get so much exposure to literature and practice writing and so much access to stuff, that there's a lot of literature that is better than most pre-twentieth century literature, and it's not as impressive.
