hello guys welcome back today I'm going
to discuss about the periods of American
literature part three hope you
understand part 1 and part 2 part 3 is
here
the modern period 1914 to 1939
after the American Renaissance the
modern period is the second most
influential and artistically rich Age of
American writing its major writers are
listed below
the era between the two world was
marked by the trauma of the great
economic depression beginning in 1929
was that of the emergence of what is
still known as modern literature
next is a contemporary period after the
world war 2 American literature
becomes broad and varied in terms of
theme mode and purpose currently there
is a little consensus as to how to go
about classifying the last 80 years into
periods or moments more time must pass
perhaps before scholars can make these
determinations that being said there are
a number of important writers since 1939
whose works may already be considered
classic
and also who are likely to become
canonized
next is postmodern Period
from 1960s to present the period from
the 1960s to the present can be
considered the postmodern period in
which modernist experimentation in
linguistic and narrative technique was
pushed to new extremes by authors listed
below many of the most distinguished
literary works of this period have been
written by writers or often identified
as belonging to one another minority or
ethnic literary group
this is the era of a number of notable
african-american writers
