Contemporary Literature

Contemporary literature began in 1940 . Some scholars see it

as a continuation of post modern literature whereas others 

claimed that contemporary literature began from 1960 till

today. Contemporary literature reflects contemporary life

and culture which is changing and full of contradictions.

Contemporary literature writers used irony in their works

even in dealing with serious and sad events like the war ,they

talked about the war ,how it destroy everything in a humorous

way .an other thing is that in contemporary literature works 

there is a use of high ,complex language which ordinary people

can not understand as Jane Osten works as well as works with

low , simple language which anyone can understand.

Contemporary literature writers depict their uncertainty and 

questioned things of absolute truth even their own existence

.also ,through their works they focused on the creation of the 

character , a focus on the psychological dimension of the person.
