Tracing the evolution of literature
through time scholars often group works from a certain timeframe together and
label it as a period or movement. This section of The Literature Network aims
to disect these movements for the better understanding of you, the reader. The
movements or periods listed here where not mutually exclusive in their
timeframes, they overlap, liberally. In some cases a single author can even be
claimed by more than one movement. Classifing art, an art in itself, often ends
up more fluid like this. Each introduction (listed below) includes a broad
overview of the movement or period, examples of key works, and a list of major
authors.
See also our Literary Periods Timeline
for a visual reference of the evolution of literature.
