The document discusses factors that influenced novels in the 20th century. Some of the key factors included World War I, which affected novelists and their works. There was also growth in industrialization and democracy during this time period. Religious beliefs faced more skepticism as science became more prominent. Famous 20th century novelists like E.M. Forster, Anne Frank, William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, and George Orwell had more freedom to write openly about these changing social and political issues compared to earlier times.
3. INTRODUCTION:
The novel of the 18th century was written at
a time when there was complexity and
contradiction in British society, but the 20
century novel had been affected by the
events of the war and the destroyed old
religious values. As a result of all these
events, we can notice the change that
happened in the literary works. Some
novelists reflected their emotions and they
tried to give a clear image of the.human
soul and the social changes.
4. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS INFLUNCED IN 20TH
CENTUREY:
The first factor is WWI . The war was a common theme
shared by many novelists, including the social changes
caused by the war. Many popular novels simply included
pre-war plots about
spies or romantic encounters onto a wartime setting. The
Second first factor is INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT . The
rapid industrial growth that began in Great Britain during the
middle of the eighteenth century and extended into the
United States for the next 150 years provided a wide range
of material for many nineteenth-century writers. The third
factor is Christianity, encompassing the Roman Catholic,
Greek Orthodox, and Protestant faiths, asserted a
tremendous influence on the literature of the twentieth
century.
5. At the beginning of the twentieth century, literature
challenged those beliefs and placed religion behind
such scientific, political and psychological theories.
There are examples of novelists who have spoken
out directly against religious orthodoxies in their
works such as: E.M. Forster, James Joyce, and
Virginia Woolf.
The final factor is DISSAPEARANCE OF
BRITSH EMPIRE .The twentieth-century novels are
influenced by the changes in beliefs and political
ideas after the events of the WWI and the
disappearance of the British Empire.
7. THE WAR:
The first world war or the great war was a
global war which affected the country and its
people .So that, the novelists and the novels
were affected also. The novelists were so
weak because they were suffering from the
sequences of the war so they cannot write
great novels because their emotions were
destroyed as a result of this war .
13. DEMOCRACY:
After the First World
War, people began
to claim their rights.
They became free of
oppression they
suffer for many
years. This has led
to the growth of
democracy that
caused the radical
political and social
contradictions.
14. INDUSTRY:
Also, there was
industrial development
in twentieth century
which led to the
improvement of the
standard of living.
Women became able
to express their
opinions such as
voting and working in
factories and
government
departments.

as messy in many issues including religious

through their literary works. The
