With increasing frequency since the early 1970s, now achieves a partial answer as it continues to evolve. .Charles Jencks, the main definer of Post-Modern architecture, considers the concept as it relates also to the arts and literature and offers a spirited defence of the movement against the growing Modernist reaction. Using typical Post-Modern devices of exposition, including irony, allegory and parody, he shows the evolution of this tradition to the point where it is persecuted in the 'Protestant Inquisition' and becomes triumphant and academic in the 'Counter-Reformation'. But this 'little tract' also challenges a major misconception. For too long Post-Modernism has been confused with any art form that comes after the waning of Modernism, whether it is Minimalism in art, High-Tech in architecture or Deconstruction in philosophy.
