Modernism

What I benefit from our last lecture which was about modernism that its a great revolution against the victorian age, which began on the first half of the 2oth century and lasted from 1910-1930 to dominate the arts and culture of that period. It brought down much of the structure of pre-twentieth-century practice in music, painting, literature, and architecture.



Also we took about some of the important characterisics of the litrary modernism practised by some of it's writers (Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot) include the following:



1. Emphasises on subjectivity (how we see rather than what we see).

2. A way from objectivity.

3. Clear in its distinctions between genres.

4. Has a new linking for fragmented forms.

5. Has a tendency towards reflexivity ( the genre talks about itself)
