Modernism is a literary movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to the social, political, and cultural changes of the time. It sought to break away from traditional forms and explore new ways of representing reality, often through experimentation with form and style. Modernist writers often focused on themes such as alienation, fragmentation, and the complexity of human experience.
