What is a Classic?
The definitions of a classic according to the Collins Dictionary are:
adjective
of the highest class, esp in art or literature
serving as a standard or model of its kind; definitive
adhering to an established set of rules or principles in the arts or sciences ⇒ a classic proof
characterized by simplicity, balance, regularity, and purity of form; classical
of lasting interest or significance
continuously in fashion because of its simple and basic style ⇒ a classic day dress
noun
an author, artist, or work of art of the highest excellence
a creation or work considered as definitive
One of the above definitions of a ‘classic’ is that it holds lasting interest or significance. The email I received this morning certainly makes me hope that at some stage The Barn Chronicles will fall under that definition and will at least in one sense earn the classification as a classic. 🙂
