Literary Movements explores the evolution of human thought through literature, focusing on Romanticism, Realism, and Modernism. These movements reflect significant cultural shifts and artistic expression, offering insights into how societies perceived themselves and the world.
Romanticism, for example, arose as a reaction against the Enlightenment, emphasizing emotion and individualism.
Similarly, Realism sought to depict life authentically, often highlighting the struggles of ordinary people.
The book examines these movements within their historical and social contexts, revealing how intellectual, social, and political currents shaped them.
It begins by defining the core principles of each movement and tracing its historical roots, then analyzes their similarities and differences.
By understanding these literary movements, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the present and a clearer vision for the future, seeing literature not as static but as a dynamic force.
