Modernism in literature is a revolutionary artistic and cultural movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It marks a significant departure from traditional literary conventions, emphasizing experimentation, innovation, and a deeper exploration of the human experience. Modernist writers sought to capture the complexities and uncertainties of the modern world, using techniques like stream of consciousness, fragmented narratives, and subjective perspectives. Themes of alienation, disillusionment, and societal critique were common, as authors questioned established norms and values. The movement's enduring impact continues to shape contemporary literature, inspiring writers to push the boundaries of storytelling and express the intricacies of human consciousness.
