Well, when a book was written does influence style, flavours, topics, and so forth. I'm not that fond of Charles Dickens and many of those classic English authors. I find a lot of their work tedious and drawn-out. Of course, authors like Charles Dickens actually wrote their novels in serial form in the newspaper and it could have been more interesting to read it as such rather than as a book.
