What is a mark of great literature?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37353points) February 24th, 2012

I believe great literature must stand the test of time. Some examples would be The Iliad, anything by Shakespeare, and Leaves of Grass.

To expound just a bit, a piece of literature stands the test of time by speaking to something central to the human experience.

What do you believe makes a work of literature really great?
