INTRODUCTION
(2-3 pages)
In no way inferior to the pre-war. The war became a test of values. Our literature on war is tragic, positive, not meaningless, the death of a hero is not absurd. Americans portray the war as absurd, shifting the focus to senseless discipline and confusion. A person who fights with meaning is either a fognatist or a madman. The aims of war have nothing to do with human life. This literature is more individualistic. Reality is fluid, illogical, and therefore its development requires completely new means and forms of expression, special poetics. Under these conditions, a new concept of a literary text becomes popular: it is “limitless”, “there is nothing outside the text”. The literature of postmodernism operates in its artistic practice with a number of techniques: the deliberate difficulty of the narrative manner, the discontinuity of the plot and action, fragmentation, parody, the use of a certain mask by the author, intertextuality.At this time, poets wanted to contribute to the development of literature.
The aim of my course work is to study the life and work of Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, O. Henry, Frank Norris, and Jack London, and their contributions to the development of American literature after the war.
