Well, I think that a lot of it had to do with life post WWI. People were considered a "lost generation" according to modernist writer Gertrude Stein. It's as if they lived their life without hope. Reading Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" could be a good book to understand life in the modern era.

Modernism :)
Modernism cheaters :)
Willa Cather's novel "My Ántonia" draws from elements of literary naturalism, a literary movement that focuses on depicting the harsh realities of life, particularly those of rural and frontier settings. Naturalism often explores themes of fate, determinism, and the struggle for survival in the face of a hostile environment.
Modernism is a literary and artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century, characterized by a break from traditional forms and conventions, experimentation with new techniques and styles, and a focus on individual experience and subjectivity. Realism, on the other hand, is a literary movement that emerged in the 19th century, prioritizing an objective portrayal of everyday life, often depicting the social realities of the time with a focus on the ordinary and mundane aspects of life.
Stream-of consciousness narration is the literary technique associated with Modernism and incluenced by Henri Bergson and William James theories.
George Orwell belonged to the Edwardian Era.
