I think you just have.

If they're "quite literally the 'cornerstones'" in the sense of being stones at the intersections of walls; I would beg to disagree.

If they're "quite literally the 'cornerstones'" in the sense of being works that the whole of Western literature rests upon; then I would beg to differ.
