Literary works are able to grow larger in future time, Bakhtin says, because they are filled with past time: [T]he work cannot live in future centuries without having somehow absorbed past centuries as well. If it had belonged entirely to today (that is were a product only of its own time) and not a continuation of the past or essentially related to the past, it could not live in the future. ’ Shakespeare made his works out of words that were filled with the socially diverse and heteroglossic meanings of past time: The semantic treasures Shakespeare embedded in his works were created and collected through the centuries and even the millennia: they lay hidden in the language, and not only in the literary language, but also in those strata of the popular language that before Shakespeare’s time had not entered literature, in the diverse genres and forms of speech communication, in the forms of a mighty national culture M.
