SOME of human nature, yes. There are some aspects of human nature that
are timeless - but there are also many aspects which are contingent upon
the era they're written in. Anytime society undergoes radical change,
its literatures/mythologies change in ways which reflect the ways in
which the society changes. And no time period has had more radical
change than the past 100 years.
But, I think you missed my point somewhat, because I would consider
Dostoevsky to be a "modern writer" anyway.
np:Mogwai, "Christmas Song"
