Modernism
• ~1900—WWII
• Rejected Enlightenment, religion, traditional
ideals
• Problems facing Britain: poverty, child labor,
prostitution
• Factors sparking Modernism:
Industrialization, WWI
• Writing style: self-consciousness, irony
What other works embraced
Modernism’s innovative attitude?
• Queer culture
– To get away from hetero “norm”
– Escaping what they’re used to doing
For homework, please find your own example of a
piece of work (literature, art, film, etc.), an event,
an era, or any other aspect of culture that
epitomizes the attitudes of Modernism. Please
explain how it does so, and provide a visual. Also, if
possible, explain what this particular
work/event/era transitioned from (A.K.A., what
were they rebelling against?), and any happenings
that may have sparked this transition.
Respond to at least two other responses.
