MODERNISM Marco Maran

What is Modernism?  It describes a series of reforming cultural movements in art, music and literature  It emerged in the three decades before 1914  The movement is rooted in the changes in the Western society  It is a trend of thought that affirms the power of human being to create, improve, and reshape their environment.

A new way of human being Modernism wants to find new ways of expression as a result to the new situation of man who has lost his/her faith in traditional believes. Tradition had not secured him/her a point of reference. The individual had know to find essence of life within himself/herself.

The influences  Einstein: General Theory of Relativity  Bergson and James: rejected conventional ideas of time, present as a summary of memories  Freud: irrational part of human being, unconcious  Jung: takes to surface the inner workings of mind

Modernism and Victorian Age Modernism considers Victorian Age or Aesthetic principles, about literature, insufficient to answer the individual questions.

Literature: exponents  Thomas Stearn Eliot  Virginia Woolf  James Joyce  D. H. Lawrence  Ezra Pound  Frank Kafka  Marcel Proust

Principle literary techniques  Interior Monologue  Stream of Conciousness  Eclisses of narrator  Intertextuality  Objective Correlative  Mythical method The point of view was shifting from external narrator to the mind of characters

Thomas Stearn Eliot T. S. Eliot was the poet that established modernist poetry in England. His most important work is The Waste Land. He mixed French Symbolism and the imagery of John Donne and the Metaphysic Poets, then he developped a new personal kind of symbol which describes as “objective correlative” that is a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which create the formula of a particular emotion allowed the disapperance of the Romantic subjective voice of the poet.

James Joyce J. Joyce is the major exponent in Modernist Fiction. He can be considered the most innovative and experimental writer of the century. His most important work is Ulysses. Ulysses provides a suitable example of what means Modernism. As a matter of fact it adopted the mythical method (Odyssey’s structure in the 20th century) and the principle techniques of narration like Stream of Conciousness (Molly’s monologue) and interior monologue.

Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) with its famous dictum, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
