The American modernist dramatist Eugene O'Neill's career began in 1914, but his major works appeared in the 1920s and 1930s and early 1940s . Two other significant modernist dramatists writing in the 1920s and 1930s were Bertolt Brecht and Federico García Lorca . D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in 1928, while another important landmark for the history of the modern novel came with the publication of William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury in 1929 . In the 1930s, in addition to further major works by Faulkner (As I Lay Dying, Light in August), Samuel Beckett published his first major work, the novel Murphy (1938), while in 1932 John Cowper Powys published A Glastonbury Romance, the same year as Hermann Broch's The Sleepwalker .

Clement Greenberg sees Modernism ending in the 1930s, with the exception of the visual and performing arts . In fact, many literary modernists lived into the 1950s and 1960s, though generally speaking they were no longer producing major works . </P> <P> The term late modernism is sometimes applied to modernist works published after 1930 .

Samuel Beckett, who died in 1989, has been described as a "later modernist".
