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. The postmodernist movement that followed further pushed the boundaries of form and style, incorporating elements of pop culture, metafiction, and self-reflexivity. 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.
