MAIN PART
1. The history and development and of American literature after the war
The history of American literature begins long before this land was called America. It was a fantastic evolution from tribal symbols and designs to today's Stephen King and Danielle Steel. Literature has actually gone through many stages and has been influenced by remarkable events and concepts in American history. The earliest kind of literature in what would one day be called America was far from what modern people think of as "literature". The natives who inhabited this land originally had unwritten methods for transmitting experiences, beliefs and stories. The locals relied heavily on the oral telling of these stories to the younger generation. The same stories, myths, or belief structures were told in succession, each time similar to the last, and listeners memorized them so they could pass them on. next generation. They also used images, carvings, or special mementos such as bones, teeth, feathers, or skins as signs of amazing hunts or wars. Like other national literatures, American literature has been shaped by the history of the country that gave birth to it. For almost a century and a half, America was just a group of colonies scattered along the east coast of the North American continent - colonies from which a few brave souls hesitantly set off west. After a successful rebellion against the motherland, America became the United States, a nation. By the end of the 19th century, this nation had spread south to the Gulf of Mexico, north to the 49th parallel, and west to the Pacific Ocean. By the end of the 19th century, it had also taken its place among the world powers - its destinies were so intertwined with the destinies of other nations that it inevitably became involved in two world wars, and after these conflicts, in the problems of Europe and East Asia. Meanwhile, the growth of science and industry, as well as changes in the way of thinking and feeling, led to many changes in people's lives. All these factors in the development of the United States have shaped the literature of the country. After the war, a general sense of aimlessness and defeat led to a movement in both modernism and anti-authoritarianism and nihilism in literature and art.At this time, there was a sense of separation between the artist and the writer and the general public. The disillusionment that grew out of the war contributed to the emergence of modernism, a genre that broke with traditional ways of writing, abandoning romantic views of nature and focusing on the inner world of the characters. Military literature takes a wide range of approaches in its efforts to make sense of the military experience and includes studies across a range of genres, including poetry, drama, short stories, novels, journals, diaries, oral histories, memoirs, and letters. Literature has changed over time, adapting former values, beliefs, and literary characteristics as the new era dawned; this progression is associated with a change in social attitudes towards…show more content… During this period of time, American literature moves from an American basis to an American development.English writers mostly emphasize their own culture and mannerisms, while American writers discuss American history and social issues. Like the early writings in Britain, the early American writings deal with topics related to religion and politics. By the first decades of the 19th century, truly American literature began to emerge. While still coming from the British literary tradition, the stories and novels published from the 1800s to the 1820s began to depict American society and explore the American landscape in an unprecedented way. History, current events, and social events have indeed influenced American literature. The surrounding world influenced the authors, and this was reflected in their works. After the war, a general sense of aimlessness and defeat led to a movement in both modernism and anti-authoritarianism and nihilism in literature and art.At this time, there was a sense of separation between the artist and the writer and the general public. After the war, impressive new novelists, poets and playwrights emerged. In fact, there was a gradual changing of the guard. Not only did a new generation emerge from the war, but its ethnic, regional and social character was completely different from that of the previous one.
