∙ 10y agoModernist literature also known as literary modernism, originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has its origins primarily from from North America and Europe. Modernism is the departure from any traditional styles of writing in poetry and verse. Those who practiced modernist literature adhered to Ezra Pound's moto, to "make it new."
