Modernism and Modernist Novel ============================================== ============================== Change. Art and literature after the First World War T. S. stated that an orderly stable and essential world view of the 19th century could not be realized. Elliott is in agreement with "a huge panorama in useless and anarchic state in modern history". Thus, modernism shows a unique difference with the Victorian ethics of bourgeois; they reject the optimism of the 19th century, and they provide a deep pessimistic view of chaotic culture.
This book belongs to the genre of contemporary social novels. Modern social novels are all about roles, in this case about Holden. It includes social factors that discuss the critical attitudes of adults to the younger generation. The story is also a story of cards (adventure) as it explains what the character did in New York. The watcher in the wheat field is a boy named 16-year-old Holden Colefield. Holden studied at a boarding school in Pennsylvania of Pencey. He is very smart and works hard. Prior to the end of the first three months, Holden received a third interruption due to cold attitude and poor performance.
This time it was a transition from a Victorian novel to a modern novel. Therefore, we can not completely distinguish between writers and their work. The novels written during this period can be divided into three groups. Novels are written in the old Victorian tradition, but other novels are not important in language, style, and form but in fact they analyze the psychology of people and their inner life and contradiction, And the third group pay more attention to that format. And the style, the psychology of character, the inner life, the conflict, and the relationship with the real world. (Themes and art are important.) The most important writers of these types of novels are James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. D. H. Lawrence is suitable for the second group. His early work, son and lover, more traditional thought to be "deep tradition and deep modernity"
