Modernist writers
Modernist writers, active mainly in the early 20th century, are known for their innovative approaches to storytelling, language, and structure. They often challenged traditional norms by experimenting with narrative forms, symbolism, and perspectives to reflect the rapidly changing world influenced by technology, war, and social shifts. Their works explore themes of disorientation, identity, and the subconscious. Prominent figures include James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and T.S. Eliot. Modernism seeks to capture the complexities of modern life, emphasizing individual experience and breaking away from classical conventions to achieve artistic expression.
