In this article, the major literary trends that shaped American literature in the 19th and 20th centuries are discussed. The key movements, including Romanticism, Realism, Naturalism, Modernism, and Postmodernism, are examined in detail. The characteristics of each movement are explained, and their influence on writers and literary works is analyzed. The contributions of well-known authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and others are explored. Their works are studied to show how literary styles and themes evolved over time. The impact of historical and social changes on literature is also considered. The effects of industrialization, wars, economic crises, and cultural transformations on literary expression are highlighted. The ways in which writers responded to these events through their works are examined. Changes in themes, character development, and writing techniques are discussed to demonstrate the transition from one literary period to another.
