Edwardian Literature refers to the body of work produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910. This period followed the Victorian era and is characterized by a shift towards modernism, with authors exploring new themes and styles. Writers such as E. M. Forster and H. G. Wells emerged, often addressing social issues and the complexities of human relationships. The literature of this time often reflected the changing societal norms and the impact of industrialization. It included a mix of genres, from novels to poetry, with notable works like A Room with a View and The Time Machine. The era set the stage for the literary innovations of the Modernist movement.
