Modernism Peter Childs “time-bound art form” between the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. More precisely 1890-1930 “genres-bound art form”. Modernism is associated with innovations and novelty. It has been stretched to include such British and Irish figures as John Donne, William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lawrence Sterne.(Technical experimentation, self-conscious reflexiveness, uncertainty of reality)

Modernism Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions- trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of innumerable atoms. [… ]Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. Is it not the task of the novelist to convey this varying, this unknown and uncircumscribed spirit, whatever aberration or com- plexity it may display, with as little mixture of the alien and external as possible?
