Modern Literature
Vietnamese literary tradition has
evolved through the multiple events that have marked the country’s
history. New literary movements can usually be observed every ten
years but in the last century, Vietnamese literature underwent
several literary transitions.

A revolutionary campaign occurred at the beginning of
Romanized Vietnamese literature, in an attempt to
standardize its styles such as prose, poetry, and criticism.
All the writings produced had one thing in common: the
authors were using a powerful and flexible style to update
events and trends and therefore predict social events.
For more than a half century the Vietnamese people fought
two wars of resistance, and at the present time, are in a
period of construction, industrialization and modernization.
In this situation, in Vietnamese literature, movement and
vital force currently exist. |
