Abstract

Introduction: There are no watertight compartments in literary periods, nor is there anything that arises spontaneously in the course of years and books; hence, in this periodisation, temporal estuaries have their justification, and exchanges explain the renewal of movements, epochs and generations. Methodology: The cultural-historical context is essential to understanding French and Francophone literature of modernity, it provides a basis for analysing how events and philosophical currents influenced literary creation and the evolution of the literary movements we will analyse. Results: The union of these two periods under the denomination of "modern and contemporary eras" is not forced. The historical overlaps between the 19th and 20th centuries are significant and applicable to the literary framework. Discussions: But what happens in literary time, and what diachronic logic should be applied to these two centuries in Francophone literature? Conclusions: It is clear that the presentation of a succession of styles is not definitive and both the moments of transition and the peculiarities of the complete work or the literary trajectory of a given author require a particular and differentiated treatment.
