2. 1-Modernism is a progression of life of a group of people from
an antique or old fashioned way to a new way of living. It is
the philosophical movement that arose from the wide seek
along with cultural changes in transformation of the western
society in the 19th and 20th century.

that helps human beings to reshape their environment with
the aid of practical experimentation, scientific knowledge, or
technology.

world war, industrial revolution, new technology, changes in
politics. And the two broad movements which is: socially
progressive- celebrates man's ability to change the world and
the Artistic introspection-a means of tackling the new world.

3. 4-The modernist literature was characterised by a
rejection of the 19th century traditions and of their
consensus between author and reader (baldick 159).
5-Modernist tried to break away from the conventions of
the Victorian era. They wished to distinguish
themselves from the history of art and literature.

4. 1-Modernist literature was a predominantly English genre of
fiction writing, popular from roughly the 1910s into the
1960s. Modernist literature came into its own due to
increasing industrialization and globalization. New
technology and the horrifying events of both World Wars

consciousness. Instead of progress, the Modernist writer

capitalism, which alienated the individual and led to
loneliness.

*The coming of the great war of 1914-1918 and the Russian
revolution of 1917 changed the world drastically. Prior to 1914, it
had been argued that no one would fight such war, since the cost
was too high. The birth of the new age machine which changed
the conditions of human lives in the nineteenth century radically
changed the nature of welfare.

7. 2- religion :
the rejection of all religious and moral principles as the only means of
obtaining social progress.
The reason that they did so was not necessarily because they did not
believe in God, although there was a great majority of them who were
atheists, or that they experienced great doubt about the
meaninglessness of life.
The rejection of moral and religious principles was compounded by the
repudiation of all systems of beliefs, whether in the arts, politics,
sciences or philosophy.

8. 3- philosophical :
Several philosophical theoreticians were to change the
way that modern man perceives the external world,
particularly in their refutation of the Newtonian
principle that reality was an absolute, unquestionable
entity divorced from those observing it. The first to do
so was F. H. Bradley, who considered that the human
mind is a more fundamental feature of the universe
than matter and that its purpose is to search for truth.

9. 4-Technological and science :
By 1900 the world was a bustling place transformed by all of the new discoveries,
inventions and technological achievements that were being thrust on
civilization: electricity, the combustion engine, the incandescent light bulb, the
automobile, the airplane, radio, X-rays, fertilizers and so forth. These
innovations revolutionized the world in two distinct ways. For one, they created
an optimistic aura of a worldly paradise, of a new technology that was to reshape
man into moral perfection. In other words, technology became a new religious
cult that held the key to a new utopian dream that would transform the very
nature of man. Secondly, the new technology quickened the pace through which
people experienced life on a day to day basis. For instance, the innovations in the
field of transportation and communication accelerated the daily life of the
individual. Whereas in the past, a person's life was circumscribed by the lack of
mechanical resources available, a person could now expand the scope of daily
activities through the new liberating power of the machine. Man now became
literally energized by all of these scientific and technological innovations and,
more important, felt a rush emanating from the feeling that he was invincible,
that there was no stopping him.
