The New Wave (mid-1960s to late 1970s) was a literary movement that rejected Golden Age rationalism in favor of experimentation, psychology, and stylistic innovation. Influenced by modernism, counterculture, and emerging social critique, New Wave authors emphasized subjectivity, inner states, taboo themes, and linguistic play.
