Agreeing/arguing on what are the qualities of postmodernist
literature, drama, poetry, and other arts is what
student/critics/connoisseurs do.

These developments involved new subject matter, style, technique, and led ultimately to a radical rethinking of the relationship between fiction and reality. This era in the history of the novel, like the corresponding periods in the history of drama, poetry, and other arts, is now widely known as Modernism.
