Discuss literary movements

[kelby_lake]

How could you omit Blake from the metaphysical poets?

I wouldn't call 'To Kill A Mockingbird' particularly Southern Gothic. Yeah, you've got Boo but...I'd say Tennessee Williams and Carson McCullers are the best examples.Orpheus Descending and The Ballad of The Sad Cafe are definitely Southern Gothic. It sort of imbues your Southern stereotypes with a romantic quality.

What about French gothic, stuff like The Hunchback of Notre Dame?

Naturalism- a literary movement taking place from 1880's to 1940's that used detailed realism to suggest that social conditions, heredity, and environment had inescapable force in shaping human character. Stuff like Zola.

This is on the list.

Blake was one of the Romantics.

Great list! Why not put the movements in alphabetic order at the top of the page? That would make them easier to find if, say, you are just looking to see if your favourite movement is included. You could then click on the entry to move down into your current date-ordered list. Some other movements:

aesthetes (Wilde, Pater, Bloom...)
Angry Young Men (Kingsley Amis...)
Bloomsbury group (Woolf, Keynes,...)
Irish revival (Yeats, ...)
existentialists (Sartre, Camus,...)
Tolstoyans (More a literary dead end, but certainly 'a movement'...)

JBI-- good point so the overlap. Woolf is Bloomsbury and modernist (Joyce is certainly not Bloomsbury!)

Ah. I'm sure he wrote metaphysical stuff though...

Angry Young Men was more of a theatre movement, really.

Primitivism is an arts movement. Violence is not.

Primitivism is basically art inspired by primitive cultures and tribes.

I think you have misunderstood. Hemingway's fiction, in terms of literary movements, falls under modernism or 'The Lost Generation'. Content-wise, he deals with masculinity, basically.
