Literary Manifestos

A literary manifesto is a public declaration by writers or artists that outlines their goals, beliefs, and new ideas about literature or art. It often challenges existing norms, advocating for change or innovation within the creative field. Manifestos serve as a statement of identity and purpose, inspiring others to adopt similar views or explore new directions. Historically, they have played important roles in movements like Modernism or Surrealism, shaping the development of literature by openly stating what creators stand for and hope to achieve.
