Literary Modernism • Beginning around 1890 to 1950. • Part of a larger movement that involved philosophy, psychology, art, music, architecture • Experimentation with style and form. • Questioning and challenging the ways in which one can write and deliver a story. • Abandoning traditional style and inventing new forms of narrative. • Modernist writers include: Williams Faulkner, T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, James Joyce

  3. Stream of Consciousness • Narrative style where the thought process and feelings of a character are revealed. We are inside the character’s head. • Sometimes this is also referred to as an interior monologue. However, stream of consciousness does not always concern itself with proper grammar or sentence structure. It tries to stay faithful to the way thoughts are processed internally.
