Vietnamese Literature encompasses a rich tapestry of written works that reflect the history, culture, and values of Vietnam. It includes various forms such as poetry, novels, and essays, often influenced by the country's long history of conflict and colonialism. Notable periods include the Ly and Tran dynasties, where literature flourished, and the French colonial era, which introduced new literary styles. Modern Vietnamese literature continues to evolve, with authors like Nguyen Huy Thiep and Bao Ninh exploring themes of war, identity, and social change. The use of both Vietnamese and French languages has enriched the literary landscape, making it diverse and dynamic.
