Changes in literature during the transition from the Victorian era to the modern era
During the modern era, the field of literature also underwent a number of transformations. Verse writing, structure, and imaginative writing of the Victorian era became passé. Journalists work began losing the enchanted they used to have in past age. The writing of Victorian authors was becoming stale, and their works failed to inspire readers. In order to reenergize readers, art needs to be updated. However, the content and unexpected elements of Victorian art were absent.

Absence of feelings and beliefs


In contrast to Victorians, who believed in maintaining the home life and considered themselves to be more of a family person, people in the modern world were more interested in independence and did not want to be bound by parental authority. In addition, in modern times, the feeling of love was becoming restricted to sex; love had become less romantic and more like greed. These things show how people's values, emotions, and feelings have changed over time. The same way of life is depicted in literary works as well. It would no longer be a striking piece of literature if authors attempted to write about Victorian themes. As a result, contemporary literature displays less enthusiasm for love, natural beauty, and emotions. Modern authors present novel perspectives that appeal to conventional readers.
Time of apparatus
There is no question that apparatus has overwhelmed the advanced individuals' life. The modern era is also known as the machinery age. The machinery had made people more materialistic. There is no doubt that the development of machinery made modern life easier. Both the standard of living and the rate at which goods were produced increased. However, one drawback of mechanical life is that it forces people to use all of their energy in accordance with the clock, rather than in accordance with their own will. The people were greatly afflicted by the modern atmosphere.
Showing how the modern novel developed in the works of writers like Joseph Conrad, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and William Faulkner is one way to comprehend it. This rundown is in no way, shape or form selective, however it addresses those creators who are fundamental figures of the pioneer abstract group.
Conrad, Proust, Joyce, Woolf, Kafka, and Faulkner are all considered to be "modern" authors because they share certain literary preoccupations with an unstable modern world, have a diminishing belief in the idea of progress, are concerned with the radical subjectivity of the self, and, as a result, are preoccupied with the novelist's need to present "reality" from multiple perspectives. Joyce, Kafka, and Faulkner are also considered to be "modern" Of central worry to innovators is the subject of how the world is seen — or, rather, their anxiety is the trouble of seeing the world as a settled upon or objective reality. As a result, the modern novel relies on stream-of-consciousness narrators and even unreliable witnesses to the present and the past, highlighting the author's and reader's laborious quest for truth. In other words8oning of the characters' knowledge and beliefs regarding it.
