MODERN LETTERS. To get a complete picture of the literature's definition please just go patiently studying a summary like that you'll find here (click).

The modern age, is one of the great periods in which it is customary to conventionally divide the history of humanity, mostly for educational purposes and manualistic: is sometimes made to start with the fall of Constantinople (1453), sometimes with the discovery of America (1492) and is made to conclude with the French Revolution or the Congress of Vienna (1815); is mainly characterized by the emergence of modern states in Europe and European colonization of other continents.

As for literature, I would extend this period up to the entire first half of the twentieth century, when after the Second World War there was a historic change, which was manifested in the literary evolution, strongly influenced by the fashions of the moment. Speaking of the latter period of the modern age and the italian literature, however, we find Alessandro Manzoni with its beautiful and delicious descriptions of places and people, and many other writers of the nineteenth century, even prior to Manzoni himself, who also produced works noteworthy; and even the most modern Luigi Pirandello with his novels that I have appreciated in my youth, or other famous writers as Bacchelli, all still present despite the inexorable passage of time and also my personal end of the world draws near. About the modern English literature it can be said that literature evolves in step with the evolution of language. Charles Dickens, is considered one of the most important novelists of all time, as well as one of the most popular one with his humorous trials (The Pickwick Papers, 1836), or his social novels (Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Hard Times, A Christmas Carol). Those who have read his works can certainly give an opinion and make a comparison with some contemporary writers, both in the literary form that content.  Without speaking of Oscar Wilde, Edward Morgan Forster, James Joyce, and others) the books of the most popular writers such as Rudyard Kipling and Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) that I inherited from my grandfather Lino, and I have been delighted both in content that the literary form, in my humble opinion are not even remotely comparable with the contemporary. About the immense English literature I would like to mention much more, but I'll settle for Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) by Jerome K. Jerome. Against the current of the river Thames the three friends Jerome Harris (the more prosaic man of the earth) and George (who "goes to sleep in a bank every day from 10 to 16, except on Saturdays when the cast up to 14" ), together with the faithful dog Montmorency, traveling for days on their boat, sliding along the English countryside, live always new and unexpected adventures that made me tear of laughter.
