Modernism in Literature

Modernism in literature is a movement from the late 19th to early 20th century that seeks to break away from traditional storytelling and forms. It reflects the changing world, often exploring themes of fragmentation, subjective experience, and uncertainty. Writers experimented with new styles, language, and perspectives, emphasizing individual perception and inner consciousness. This shift aimed to capture the complexities of modern life, questioning established norms and conventions, resulting in innovative works that challenge readers to see reality from fresh, diverse viewpoints.
