The Impact of Globalization and Westernization on English Literature Shaping Contemporary Literary Trends

This paper investigates into the impact of globalization and Westernization on English literature, analysing how these cultural and societal shifts are shaping contemporary literary trends. The study highlights key developments such as the emergence of the 6-word novel, hypertext literature, flash fiction, and micro fiction. These trends challenge traditional notions of narrative structure and form, offering new ways to engage readers in an increasingly digital and globalized world. By exploring the intersection of technology, globalization, and literature, this paper aims to provide insights into the future of English literature and its evolving role in reflecting and shaping global cultural identities.
