Modernism was born in the late 19th century. The modernist was overwhelmed by the Victorian machines, disappointed with the civil war. They feel the vulnerability of humanity and the damage caused by mercantilism and war to society. They are looking for a new vision and challenging the Victorian era; "Modernists leave the Victorian era, decided literary styles, tried new forms and techniques in architecture, dance, literature and other areas" (Murfin; Ray 221)
Modernism literature is made under the assumption that literature is essential for civilization. A great experiment - a lot of time was invested by Joyce or Proust; as a modernist literature by Wolf or Faulkner, the relative influence that literature can have on consciousness is reasonable. Writing may be asked, or may sound. Aesthetics is a political choice. Modernism has entered the emptiness of the value of war - assuming that it can create new value. The current literature (I can not help feelings) is not left to the task. This is not just a cognitive competition of smartphones - it is a deep indifference and indifference. This American novel is a ruthless and fun middle class.
Modernist literature is an English-based English text that was in fashion from the 1910's to the 1960's. Modern literature began to play a role as a result of industrialization and globalization. New technology and the fears of the two world wars (especially the First World War) cast doubt on the future of mankind. What has become of the world? The writer replied to this question by turning the modern feelings. The romantic era has always focused on nature and existence. The novel of modernism talks about inner self and consciousness. Modernist writers have not made progress, but I have seen the decline of civilization. Modernist writers did not adopt new technology, but witnessed an increase in cold machinery and capitalism, they alienated individuals and led to loneliness. (Although it seems to have heard the same argument in the Internet age, is not it?)
