With the increase of Western influence during the 1920s and 1930s, many Balinese, especially the Brahmans, came to feel that the Balinese were becoming alienated from their religion and culture. To counter this, they composed religious treatises in Balinese. Treatises on Balinese script, grammar and language were also produced under the influence of Dutch scholarship.
After the revolution, Balinese authors began to write novels in Indonesian, and later also poetry. A Balinese literary movement came into being as well. The Balai Penelitian Bahasa in Singaraja, now in Denpasar, began a Balinese folktale series in 1978.
