Lit Terms 1

CONFESSION: I am reversing the order of the lit terms from the past few years. Normally we start with the VERY EASY ones and then work up to the hard ones. The problem with that (and something that previous groups agreed with me was a problem) is that you don't have much time to practice and use the harder terms. Ideally, you would learn them upfront and then you will recognize them when they show up on the practice tests. Well guess what??? We have a clean slate and we can DO IDEAL! :) But. Some of these are hard, and there are even more challenging ones in the future. Sorry.

Naturalism (as a literary era/genre)
Modernism (as a literary era/genre)
