The Postmodern period in English literature that emerged in the mid-20th century, marks a significant shift from the modernist traditions that preceded it. Characterized by its fragmentation, irony, and a deep skepticism towards grand narratives and absolute truths, postmodern literature reflects the cultural, political, and technological upheavals of the post-World War II era. Authors of this period often experiment with form, narrative structure, and language, challenging conventional storytelling and embracing a more fluid and subjective approach to reality. This era is marked by a blend of high and low culture, a playful intertextuality, and a keen awareness of the constructed nature of identity and society.
