They also found that as the number of literature works grew, the influence of older works (9)_____. Authors in the(10)_____ periods wrote in a very similar way to one another, the researchers found, probably because they all read the same(11)_____ body of literature. But approaching the modern era,(12)_____ more people were writing and more works were(13)_____ from many eras and numerous styles, authors’ styles were still very similar to those of their(14)_____ contemporaries. "It’s as if they find dialects in time," says Alex Bentley. " Content is what makes us(15)______, but content-free words put us in different(16)_____."
(17)_____ writers should be most influenced by their contemporaries(18)_____ the great works of the past is interesting, Rockmore says, because it challenges the(19)_____ of "classic" literature. When it comes to style(20)______, perhaps we aren’t so strongly influenced by the classics after all. [br] (16)
