This is a list of modern literary movements: that is, movements after the Renaissance. These terms, helpful for curricula or anthologies, evolved over time to group certain writers who are often loosely related. Some of these movements (such as Dada and Beat) were defined by the members themselves, while other terms (the metaphysical poets, for example) emerged decades or centuries after the periods in question. Ordering is approximate, as there is considerable overlap.
These are movements either drawn from or influential for literature in the English language.
Amatory fiction
• Romantic fiction written in the 18th and 19th centuries. o Notable authors: Eliza Haywood, Delarivier Manley
Cavalier Poets
• 17th-century English royalist poets, writing primarily about courtly love, called Sons of Ben (after Ben Jonson). o Notable authors: Richard Lovelace, William Davenant
Metaphysical poets
• 17th-century English movement using extended conceit, often (though not always) about religion. o Notable authors: John Donne, George Herbert, Andrew Marvell
The Augustans
• 18th century literary movement based chiefly on classical ideals, satire and skepticism. o Notable authors: Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift
Romanticism
• 19th century (1800 to 1860) movement emphasizing emotion and imagination, rather than logic and scientific thought. Response to the Enlightenment. o Notable authors: Victor Hugo, Lord Byron and Camilo Castelo Branco
Gothic novel
