Literary Look Series

I love classics literature and I love learning about the literary movements novels and authors fit into and inspire. I've started a series here on the blog where I give some information on movements and highlight the most important or influential authors and works. This page will be updated accordingly.


European Romanticism (late 1700's- early 1800's)

The Gothic Novel (1790-1830)

American Romanticism (1800-1860)

Modernism (1910-1950)

The Harlem Renaissance (1920-1930) 

The Lost Generation (1920-1930)

The Beatnik Generation (1950-1960's)

Bonus Post: The Forgotten Women of American Literature

Dates are approximate because time is messy, movements overlap, fade in and out, and evolve into new movements.
