The invention and institutionalization of "literature" as we know it occurred between the late-sixteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, alongside vast political and cultural changes - the rise of settler-colonial empires, a reading middle class, women's entrance into the literary marketplace, scientific and industrial revolutions, and the first truly global wars. How were literary innovations in realism, character, diction, prosody, and performance shaped by these historical contexts, and what do they reveal about the world we live in now?
