Question

The Great Depression virtually silenced the literacy world; almost no important literature or literacy movements came out of this period l. True or false

Answer 1

I think that this statement is false. Because The Great Depression is one of the most important periods for the literature. During this period people needed an entertainment and reading books was a good way to do that. People needed to get rid of the bad feelings caused by economic depression. They needed to relax by reading some fiction. That was described in the most notable works written during these period like Gone with the Wind or The Grapes of Wrath.

Answer 2

it is partly true—No new movements began during this time, but some important literary works were published.
