I'll give a brief explanation of what each typically entails.
1. Premodernism: strict social, religious and political traditionalism; conventional art and literature style; and general cynicism towards the enlightenment age and certainly the post-industrial revolution world. Deferring to scripture and tradition as a means of establishing an objective morality. Society over the individual.
2. Modernism: reliance on empiricism and the scientific method to achieve progress, abandonment of traditional values and beliefs, experimentational and unconventional art and literature styles, employing reason and empirical methods to establish objective standards of right and wrong. Individual over the collectivity.
3. Postmodernism: general skepticism towards religion, science and politics; heavy employment of intertextuality, irony and absurdity in literature; subjectivity and relativism of 'meaning', reality and morality/ethics. E.G. "gender/race/sexuality is a social construct".
