Hemmingway really changed how people wrote. Prior to that, novels were long, characters has long monologs, brevity was not considered to be good writing. More was more. I think Russian literature was probably even worse in this regard, but Dostoevsky is probably even worse so. One thing is just think, if there was no tv, computer, netflix, instagram, radio, cell phone, really much of anything to do, you were reading a book for entertainment, the longer the book was, the more dense, the more value you got out of it. 1) It's read in the context of it's time. 2) Might not be helping, but it's not the whole thing. 3) Not all.
