SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COMTEMPORANEOUS PERIOD
When we talk about contemporary literature and the start date of this label, we have to acknowledge World War II and the surrounding events. The horrors of the war, including bombs, ground wars, genocide and corruption, are the pathways to this type of literature. It is from these real-life themes that we find the beginning of a new period of writing. -
Period: 2000 BCE to 2019 BCE
COMTEMPORARY PERIOD
Contemporary literature is defined as literature written after World War II through the current day. While this is a vague definition, there is not a clear-cut explanation of this concept -- only interpretation by scholars and academics. While there is some disagreement, most agree that contemporary literature is writing completed after 1940. -

THE POS MODERN LITERATURE
Postmodern literature is literature characterized by reliance on narrative techniques such as fragmentation, paradox, and the unreliable narrator; and is often (though not exclusively) defined as a style or a trend which emerged in the post-World War II era. Postmodern works are seen as a response against dogmatic following of Enlightenment thinking and Modernist approaches to literature -

CONTRIBUTIONS OF POST-MODERNISM IN THE LITERATURE
While there is little consensus on the precise characteristics, scope, and importance of postmodern literature, as is often the case with artistic movements, postmodern literature is commonly defined in relation to a precursor. In particular, postmodern writers are seen as reacting against the precepts of modernism, and they often operate as literary "bricoleurs", parodying forms and styles associated with modernist (and other) writers and artists. -
Period: 1901 BCE to 1940 BCE
MODERN LITERATURE

REALISTIC REALISM

Period: 1837 BCE to 1901 BCE

THEATRE OF THE ABSURD.
The term Theatre of the Absurd is applied to plays written by primarily European playwrights, that express the belief that human existence has no meaning or purpose and therefore all communication breaks down. Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence. -
Period: 1798 BCE to 1837 BCE
ROMANTICISM
"Romantic" is a must-have for romanticism, "Romantic" is a must-have-a-little misleading: there was no self-styled "Romantic movement" at the 19th century and the first decades of the 19th time, and the great writers of the period did not call themselves Romantics. -

18 TH CENTURY
The expiry of the Licensing Act in 1695 halted state censorship of the press. During the next 20 years there were to be 10 general elections. These two factors combined to produce an enormous growth in the publication of political literature. -
Period: 1660 BCE to 1700 BCE
RESTORATION LITERATURE
The dates for Restoration literature are a matter of convention, and they differ markedly from genre to genre. Thus, the "Restoration" in drama may last until 1700, while in poetry it may last only until 1666 (see 1666 in poetry) and the annus mirabilis; and in prose it might end in 1688, with the increasing tensions over succession and the corresponding rise in journalism and periodicals, or not until 1700, when those periodicals grew more stabilized. -
