What is a Literary Movement?o Generally, the term is not defined, and instead it
is simply assumed that everyone is talking about the same thing when the term is used. That being “said”…
o Broadly defined, literary movements are trends within historical periods in which literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc.) is unified by shared intellectual, linguistic, religious, and artistic influences.
o Critics refer often to literary movements, citing different movements that have developed in literature and then been replaced by some other movement.
