XX amžius
Audringas XX amžius pagimdė revoliucines idėjas ir radikalius meno judėjimus, kurie amžiams pakeitė tai, kaip matome save ir visuomenę. Tarp pasaulinių karų ir socialinių sukrėtimų rašytojai grūmėsi su egzistencializmu, sąmonės srautu ir augančiais totalitarizmo šešėliais per novatoriškus kūrinius, apibrėžusius modernią literatūrą.
