Literary styles and techniques have evolved over time, reflecting changing social, political, and cultural contexts. For example, the modernist movement in the early 20th century rejected traditional narrative structures and embraced experimentation and fragmentation, as seen in works by James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and others.

Today, literary styles continue to evolve and adapt to new mediums and audiences, with authors experimenting with new forms like social media and interactive fiction.
