The document discusses 20th century English literature. It notes that modernism encompassed several small movements that emerged in this era until coming to an end due to World Wars I and II, giving rise to post-modernism. Some major writers of the early 20th century discussed are Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, and D.H. Lawrence. The literature of this period contained significant structures and variety in content but became more absurd and urban after the wars as faith was lost.
