HISTORY

The roots of modern literature are in the late nineteen century.

The war produced major shifts in attitudes towards Western myths of progress and civilization

The twentieth century witnessed the emergence of international acclaimed voices from the former imperial dominations.

The years leading up to World War I saw the start of a poetic revolution.

By the end of the century modernism had given way to the striking pluralism of postmodernism and postcolonialism.
