Great Writers Inspire: Introducing Modernism
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Ezra Pound's maxim, "Make it new" ("Canto LIII") is often quoted as a succinct summary of modernism. What's most inspirational about modernism, in my view, is its determination to question the basic assumptions of our lives, and art's relation to them. Everything is up for grabs--from how we think, to what kind of world we should live in, from the impact of new technologies, to what kind of role the artist should play in contemporary life. This collection of resources looks at Modernism in literature.
