Edwardian literature

Edwardian literature refers to works written during the reign of King Edward VII (1901–1910), reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the early 20th century. It often explores themes like class, morality, and changing social norms, blending Victorian traditions with emerging modern ideas. Writers like E.M. Forster and Rider Haggard examined society, relationships, and identity with a nuanced approach. The period marks a transition from the more formal, ornate Victorian style to a more experimental and introspective tone, setting the stage for modernism. Overall, Edwardian literature captures a time of gradual change amid lingering traditions.
