Annotation: In this research examines stylistic transformations in contemporary English literature, focusing on the transition from Postmodernism to New Realism. The study highlights the gradual decline of key postmodern features such as fragmentation, intertextuality, and metafiction, alongside the growing emphasis on social reality, individual experience, and psychological depth within the framework of new realism. The works of Zadie Smith and Ian McEwan are analyzed as representative examples of these stylistic shifts. The findings suggest that the resurgence of realist elements in contemporary English literature is closely linked to global socio-cultural changes and evolving reader expectations.
