Modern writing
Modernist literature is the literary expression of the tendencies of Modernism, especially High modernism.[1] Modernistic art and literature normally revolved around the idea of individualism, mistrust of institutions (government, religion), and the disbelief of any absolute truths.
Modernism as a literary movement reached its height in Europe between 1900 and the middle 1920s.[2] Modernist literature addressed aesthetic problems similar to those examined in non-literary forms
Modernist literature attempted to move from the bonds of Realist literature and to introduce concepts such as disjointed timelines. In the wake of Modernism, and post-enlightenment, metanarratives tended to be emancipatory, whereas beforehand this was not a consistent characteristic. Contemporary metanarratives were becoming less relevant in light of the events of World War I, the rise of trade unionism, a general social discontent, and the emergence of psychoanalysis. The consequent need for a unifying function brought about a growth in the political importance of culture.
Modernist literature can be viewed largely in terms of its formal, stylistic and semantic movement away from Romanticism, examining subject matter that is traditionally mundane
Don't confuse Modernism in Literature or the Modernists movement with the standard dictionary definition of modern. Modernism in Literature is not a chronological designation. Modernism in Literature consists of literary work possessing certain loosely defined characteristics. The following characteristics of Modernism answer the question what is Modernism?
•Modernism is marked by a strong and intentional break with tradition. This break includes a strong reaction against established religious, political, and social views.
•Modernists believe the world is created in the act of perceiving it; that is, the world is what we say it is.
•Modernists do not subscribe to absolute truth. All things are relative.
•Modernists feel
