Summary/Abstract: It is always a bit risky to speak about literary postmodernism. Strong efforts have been made especially in the 1980s and 90s to determine the essence and extent of it, and to be able to use the term in a literary, historical and theoretical discourse at least so reliably and reasonably as other traditional terms of literary history, such as, for example, romanticism, realism, symbolism, existentialism or modernism.
