Answer 2

Answer:

A modern car may have all of the conveniences, gadget and modern technology that make driving more pleasurable, but older cars still have their appeal and allure, particularly if they are a popular brand or one that evokes memories in us.

In fifty years time, however, a modern car may be classed as old!

On a slightly technical note, I haven’t actually heard of a period in literature that has been defined as ‘old’.

It may make answering this question easier if we could establish what is meant by the term ‘old’ literature.

Modern literature is normally used as a term that covers writing from the middle of the nineteenth century until today. The change is marked when the style of writing and the freedom of expression moved away from the styles that had gone before. As a phrase it lacks meaning when a lot of critics refer to periods as ‘Nineteenth Century Literature’, ‘Twentieth Century Literature’, Twenty-first Century Literature’.

Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, literature was not ‘old’. There was ‘Classical Literature’, ‘Elizabethan Literature’, ‘Tudor Literature’, ‘Eighteenth Century Literature’, ‘Mediaeval Literature’ etc. but not ‘old’ literature.

To lump the entire world of writing into two chunks (modern and old) is a disservice to the study of literature and to the writers of the different period. Literature has gone through many changes and each stage in the development of literature has its own set of features and forms that each have merit in their own right.

Everything written before 1880 shouldn’t just be dismissed as ‘old’!
