The 20th Century Literature ---The Age of Modernity 2017/4/23

Modernism Modernism is a term for a number of tendencies in the arts, which were prominent in the first half of the 20th century. Modernism rejected the traditional (Victorian and Edwardian) framework of narrative, description, and rational exposition in poetry and prose, in favour of a stream-of-consciousness presentation of personality, a dependence on the poetic image as the essential vehicle of aesthetic communication, and upon myth as a characteristic structural principle. 2017/4/23

Modernist works (for instance, the poetry of Eliot and Pound) may have to the unfamiliar reader a tendency to dissolve into chaos of sharp atomistic impressions, and some critics have deplored their drift towards what has been described as “dehumanization. In short, alienation and loneliness are the basic themes of modernism . 2017/4/23
