Modernism refers to a broad philosophical and artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was characterized by a deliberate break with traditional forms, styles, and ways of thinking. Modernist artists and thinkers sought to represent the new realities and experiences of the modern world, which was rapidly changing due to industrialization, urbanization, and new scientific and philosophical ideas. Key themes included a focus on subjective experience, a questioning of established norms and authority, and an exploration of new forms of expression.
In literature, modernism saw experimentation with narrative structure, stream of consciousness, and fragmented perspectives. Authors like
