Modernism is a period in literary history which started around the early 1900s and continued until the early 1940s.

Instead‚ many of them told stories the way they seen it in a state of society during and after World War I. “Modernist literature is characterized chiefly by a rejection of 19th-century traditions and of their consensus between author and reader”- Chris Baldick.

World War I (WWI) was the turning point for modernism where many artists involved in the war welcomed nihilism and expressed their opposing views on outdated societal norms through non-traditional works of art. The artists of the movement expressed a different point of view regarding how reality was portrayed.

I am investigating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) in veterans and how it can be treated. PTSD has been around since the world’s very first conflicts‚ but it wasn’t until the 1900’s that is was medically recognized as a Mental disorder.

Moore wrote this poem with the “freedom” characteristic
