Modernism

literary modernism, or modernist literature, originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is characterized by a self-conscious break with traditional ways of writing in both poetry and prose fiction writing. Modernism experimented with literary form and expression, as exemplified by Ezra Pound’s maxim to “Make it new. This literary movement was driven by a conscious desire to overturn traditional modes of representation and express the new sensibilities of the time. The horrors of the First World War saw the prevailing assumptions about society reassessed, and much modernist writing engages with the technological advances and societal changes of modernity moving into the 20th century. In Modernist Literature, Mary Ann Gillies notes that these literary themes share the “centrality of a conscious break with the past”, one that “emerges as a complex response across continents and disciplines to a changing world”. Modernism Changed people’s thinking and lifestyle. Women feel and got their rights. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics were introduced through modernism. Basically, in it, the rights of the Common people were given to them. When many positive impacts of modernism in society there are many negative effects that are also worth mentioning, modernism destroyed the family system. Many divorces took place, many relationships broke up in homes every day. Mind and hearts of people were the full value of money and wealth instead of love, care, respect, and relationships. After modernism, Women take marriage with any person who belongs to a strong, powerful, and wealthy family means they take marriage for money, wealth, and goods instead of love.
