Issues, challenges and trends of Emerging Literature:

Aesthetic Movement gained popularity due to its being in favor of Catholicism and
mysticism. Aesthetes believed in the idea that the art is useless if it is in commitment with the
ideas of morality and standard of conduct. For them “art for art’s sake” has been the motto of
the movement.

Feminist writers restate gender in association with other categories such as race and class.
These writers use literature as a strong medium to fight for the rights of women and
especially of women writers.
 Marxist movement began in early 20th century with Karl Marx’s idea of utopian world; a
classless society. Many writers after Industrialization felt the requirement of a society

imagination.

Digital or Cyber literature is the latest trend in which works of creation are exclusively on
and for digital devices. In this trend of literature, the writer relies on cyber medium like
website, blogs or social media pages.

Modernism which has its origin in the early 20th century. Modernists explored and
experimented with literary form and expression. It was the outcome of drastic efforts to
change traditional representation styles into new ways of expressing sensibilities of the time.
Modernism has arisen from two movements: “symbolism‟ and “imagism‟ which highly
affected the poetic creation of the time. Symbolism is a reaction against naturalism and
realism. Imagism is utilizing common speech; in creating new rhythms and moods; infinite
choice of subject matter; excessive use of symbols and images; yet providing clarity in style.
