Yes, that is my point. This kind of "classic" is totally personal and subjective. I might think that
Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice is a fantasy classic, and some of my millennial friends might think that
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is but I might feel that Rowling is both too recent and too much of a hack and my friend probably has never heard of Cabell.
