Briti kirjandus 20.-21. sajand kordamisküsimused vastustega
Main characteristic features of Modernism. Denial of
conventions, traditional structure, plot and presentation of character. The
stream of consciousness. Allusiveness. Virginia Woolf's Modern Fiction as a
theoretical platform for Modernism. Criticism of Realist literary method.
Literary modernism: end of the 19th century-1920 (reached its height) and ended 1940s. A self-
conscious break with traditional aesthetic forms. Rejecting the sentiment and discursiveness typical
of Romanticism and Victorian literature for poetry that instead favored precision (täppis) of imagery
and clear, sharp language. Modernist writers embraced the unconscious fears of a darker
humanity.
Sub movements: surrealism, formalism, avant-garde, symbolism, imagism
Structuralism: Writers used myth and music as a part of the books structure. J. Joyce "Ulysses".
Deep structure is the same as in "odyssey" and T.S. Elliot "the fisher king"-more complicated
experiment
