PRINT OUT on the structure of MODERN BRITISH LITERATURE
Forces Behind Modernism
· The sense that our culture has no center, no values.
· Paradigm shift
· from the closed, finite, measurable, cause-and-effect universe of the 19th century to an open, relativistic, changing, strange universe;
Characteristics of Modernism in Literature
· Literature Exhibits Perspectivism
· Meaning comes from the individual’s perspective and is thus personalized;
· A single story might be told from the perspective of several different people, with the assumption that the “truth” is somewhere in the middle
Characteristics of Modernism in Literature
· Inner psychological reality or “interiority” is represented
· Stream of consciousness—portraying the character’s inner monologue

Characteristic of Modernism in Literature
· Perception of language changes:
· No longer seen as transparent, allowing us to “see through” to reality;
· But now considered the way an individual constructs reality;
· Language is “thick” with multiple meanings and varied connotative forces.
Characteristic of Modernism in Literature
· Emphasis on the Experimental
· Art is artifact rather than reality;
· Organized non-sequentially
· Experience portrayed as layered, allusive, discontinuous, using fragmentation and juxtaposition.
· Ambiguous endings—open endings which are seen as more representative of reality.
