Modern Breakthrough - Characteristics

Characteristics

The authors during the Modern Breakthrough revolted against old traditions, especially the literary period of romanticism, characterized by increased international outlook, a freer view on sexuality and religion, along with interest in scientific breakthroughs such as Darwinism. In short, one can speak of literature with increased focus on realism.

Another important aspect is the serious treatment of the conflict between the sexes, especially with female authors gaining an influence, which previously was almost unheard-of.
