Emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, modernism evolved as a response to the rapidly changing social, cultural, and political landscapes of the time. It challenged long-established conventions and traditional modes of expression, embracing innovative techniques and perspectives that pushed the boundaries of artistic and literary creation. Modernism can be characterized as a multifaceted movement that encompassed various art forms, including literature, painting, sculpting, music, and architecture. It rejected the constraints of academic traditions, engaging with new, experimental modes of representation and exploring the possibilities of expressing subjective experiences, fragmented narratives, and the complexities of the modern world. In the context of literature, modernism introduced a radical departure from the linear, plot-driven narratives and straightforward storytelling techniques of the past. It sought to capture the chaos, rapid changes, and uncertainties of the modern era by embracing innovative narrative structures, unconventional forms, and a renewed focus on individual perspectives. The significance of modernism lies in its profound impact on the artistic and cultural landscape of the time and its lasting influence on subsequent artistic movements. By breaking away from traditional norms, modernist artists and writers challenged conventional notions of representation, offering new ways of perceiving and interpreting the world. Moreover, modernism was inextricably linked to the shifting sociopolitical and historical contexts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a response to the aftermath of global conflicts, the advent of industrialization, the rise of urbanization, and the questioning of established social, cultural, and gender norms. Modernist works often reflected the fragmented and disorienting experiences of individuals living in a changing, increasingly mechanized society. Through an analysis of English and American modernism, this coursework aims to highlight the distinctive narrative techniques, thematic explorations, and societal critiques that shaped these movements, ultimately revealing both the shared tendencies and divergent approaches found within these two significant strands of modernist expression.
