Movements

The literary and aesthetic movements that group writers and works by shared program, era or stance rather than by nationality or form: early modern and neoclassical movements, Romantic and transcendentalist movements, realist and naturalist movements, symbolist and aesthetic movements, early twentieth century avant-garde movements, modernism and its currents, postwar and existentialist movements, and postcolonial and global movements. Belongs here: a named movement such as Romanticism or modernism that authors and works are explicitly associated with. Does not belong here: an author's national tradition, carried under Authors, or a work's own genre or form.
