Concepts like "telling not showing" , "story beats" and "good story" are pretty modern and really don't hold up well when dealing with literary classics from previous centuries.

well, considering I’m judging an old book according to my modern judgement, that’s how I’m able to describe how I felt reading it! I understand most of the strangeness comes from the book being from a different period, but still, do you understand what I mean?
