==ಆಧುನಿಕ ಕಾಲ ( 1800ರ ನಂತರದ ಕಾಲ)==
ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಹತ್ತೊಂಭತ್ತನೆಯ ಶತಮಾನದ ಕೊನೆ ವಸಾಹತುಶಾಹಿ ಆಧುನಿಕತೆಯ ಕಾಲವಾಗಿತ್ತು . ಆ ಕಾಲದ ಇತರ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಭಾಷಾ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದಂತೆ, ಮರಾಠಿ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಷ್ ಓದಿದ ಬುದ್ಧಿಜೀವಿಗಳ ಪ್ರಾಧಾನ್ಯವಿತ್ತು. It was the age of prose and reason. It was the period of reformist diadicticism and a great intellectual ferment.
1817ರಲ್ಲಿ ಮೊಟ್ಟ ಮೊದಲ ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಷಿನಿಂದ ಮರಾಠಿ ಭಾಷಾಂತರಿತ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಹೊರಬಂದಿತು. ಮೊಟ್ಟ ಮೊದಲ ಮರಾಠಿ ವೃತ್ತಪತ್ರಿಕೆ ಹೊರಟದ್ದು 1835ರಲ್ಲಿ.ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸುಧಾರಣೆಯಯ ವಿಷಯವುಳ್ಳ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆದ ಮಹನೀಯರೆಂದರೆ, ಬಾಬಾ ಪದಂಜೀ (ಯಮುನಾ ಪರ್ಯಟನ - 1857) , [[ಮಹಾತ್ಮಾ ಜ್ಯೋತಿಬಾ ಫುಲೆ]], ಲೋಕಹಿತವಾದಿ, ಜಸ್ಟೀಸ್ [[ಮಹದೇವ ಗೋವಿಂದ ರಾನಡೆ]], [[ಹರಿ ನಾರಾಯಣ ಆಪ್ಟೆ]] (1864-1919) ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ.

This Drama movement was ably supported by Marathi films which did not enjoy a continuous success. Starting with V.Shantaram and before him the pioneer DadaSaheb Phalke, Marathi cinema went on to influence contemporary Hindi cinema. Director Raja Paranjape, Music director Sudhir Phadke, lyricist G.Madgulkar and actor Raja Gosavi came together to give quiet a few hits in later period. Marathi Language as spoken by people here was throughout influenced by drama and cinema along with contemporary literature. Modern Marathi poetry began with Mahatma Jyotiba Phule's compositions. The later poets like Keshavsuta, Balakavi, Govindagraj, and the poets of Ravi Kiran Mandal like Madhav Julian wrote poetry which was influenced by the Romantic and Victorian English poetry. It was largely sentimental and lyrical.PK Atre, the renowned satirist and a politician wrote a parody of this sort of poetry in his collection Jhenduchi Phule. Sane Guruji (1899-1950) contributed to the children's literature in Marathi. His major works are Shyamchi Aai (Shyam's Mother), Astik (Believer), Gode Shevat (The Sweet Ending) etc. He translated and simplified many Western Classics and published them in a book of stories titled Gode Goshti (Sweet Stories). Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar (1889-1976)'s Yayati won him the Jnanpith Award for 1975. He also wrote many other novels, short stories, essays etc. His major works are Don Dhruv (Two Poles), Ulka (Meteorite) , Krounchavadh, Jalalela Mohar, Amrutvel.
The major paradigm shift in sensibility began in the forties with the avant-garde modernist poetry of B.S. Mardhekar. In the mid fifties, the 'little magazine movement' gained momentum. It published writings which were non-conformist, radical and experimental. Dalit literary movement also gained strength due to the little magazine movement. This radical movement was influenced by the philosophy of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and challenged the literary establishment which comprised of largely middle class, urban and upper caste people. The little magazine movement threw up many excellent writers. Bhalchandra Nemade is a well known novelist, critic and poet. The poetry of Arun Kolatkar, Dilip Chitre, Namdeo Dhasal, Vasant Abaji Dahake, Manohar Oak and many other modernist poets is complex, rich and provokative. Bhau Padhye,Vilas Sarang Shyam Manohar and Visharm Bedekar are well known fiction writers.
