Thank you - modernity can be understood as beginning in the mid-1800s, and indeed the postmodern is postmoderne in Norwegian. Have done a search and late modern is the correct English term.

agree  Richard Lawson: Quite right. Of course, it's difficult to know what the author ma have meant by the word. I would have appreciated rather more context. I suggest the asker do a search on "late modern".
