(excerpts)
Literature in the second half of the twentieth century saw dramatic changes. Between 1945 and the 1960s, the belief continued that literature could represent a “common national essence,” an ideal formed in the 1950s as a patriot act to fight communism and accumulate material possessions. Some authors, responding to Ernest Hemingway’s notion of “going the distance,” attempted to write the “great American novel,” a major work that would characterize the larger aspects of existence. Regional literatures emerged, such as those from the American South. Dramatists wrote about everyday people, such as the salesman in Arthur Miller’s play Death of A Salesman, as emblematic of the postwar human experience.
Postmodern poetry, as it emerged, was skeptical of single versions of reality; instead, multiple different realities coexist, throwing notions of universal unity and totality into question.
