The history of literature in the Modern period in Europe begins with the Age of Enlightenment and the conclusion of the Baroque period in the 18th century, succeeding the Renaissance and Early Modern periods. The modern period begins later in the classical literary cultures outside Europe, for instance in Ottoman Turkey with the Tanzimat reforms (1820s), in Qajar Iran under Nasser al-Din Shah (1830s), in India with the end of the Mughal era and establishment of the British Raj (1850s), in Japan with the Meiji restoration (1860s), and in China with the New Culture Movement (1910s).
