I do think it's just a lot harder to find good modern works. There was plenty of trash written in the early 20th century. We've forgotten about it, for the most part. Anything still in print from 100 years ago is probably the best that the early 1900s has to offer. We've had 100 years to curate the list of the "best literature of the 1910s". Easy to find the good works in there.
