The Silver Age (movement)

The Silver Age generally refers to a period of artistic or literary excellence following a Golden Age. In various contexts, it marks a decline from a peak, yet still produces significant works. For example, in Russian literature, the Silver Age (late 19th to early 20th century) saw writers like Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva, who explored complex themes with innovative styles. Similarly, in comic books, the Silver Age (1956-1970) revitalized superhero stories, introducing iconic characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men. This period is characterized by experimentation and depth, reflecting the changing societal and artistic landscapes.
