What are the difference between traditional literature and modern literature compare and contrast?I expecting answer in bullet points

akannan's comments are good, so I'll start with some of those as my first bulleted point and add another point of my own:

• Traditional literature tends to be elitist (written by the very few for the very few). Modern literature tends to be a little more inclusive and more representative of the diversity of human experiences


• Traditional literature tends to follow set conventions (even when it sometimes parodies those conventions), such as the epic or sonnet or letter. Modern literature sometimes mixes up the conventions in very unexpected ways, striving not for harmony and unity but for dissonance and disunity.

You might want to review the introductions to the different chapters on the Perspectives on American Literature website (see the link below). It's fair, I think, to see the first two chapters, at least, largely as representative of traditional literature and the final two chapters largely as representative of modern literature.

In using the terms "traditional" and "modern," it's worth noting that the two are not mutually exclusively or tied simply to publication dates. In literature from centuries back we're always able to come across things that seem amazingly "modern," and most of our recently published literature is still much more "traditional" (at least in terms of structure and subject matter) than it is "modern."
