Examples of what you're talking about? Afaik those genres have just kept right on going (no revival needed) with only the occasional very rare literary work.

Space Opera was pretty well dead by the 60s
Sure you had some hold outs like the mote in gods eye but that was pretty crude throwback stuff

It really picked up in the late 80s/90s and has exploded since the 00s
Ian M. Banks and Alastair Reynolds would be good examples

The New Wave period was something of a doldrum. I'd consider the "revival" of the 90s to be a return to form, and I don't see any evidence that the modern incarnation of the genre is "literary" in a way that it wasn't previously.

The New Wave was good, there was even a couple space opera ish stories written in it which were obvious influences on the 90s like the Centauri Device and Babal 17

I would read a VOTOMS novel

Gundam Origin maybe? Haven't read it but it's the first thing that comes to mind.

are you talking about something like Expanse when you say space opera is revived? and what fantasy is being revived? Sanderson, Rothfuss? I don't get how either of these genres has become more literary tho...
