Modernism
The Rise of Modernism
Alongside the war, a revolutionary cultural and literary movement emerged: modernism.
It was born as a response to the collapse of traditional values, triggered by scientific, philosophical, and psychological breakthroughs.
Thinkers such as Einstein (relativity), Freud (psychoanalysis), Jung, and Nietzsche reshaped the way people saw the world and the human mind.
Modernism spread across all the arts: painting, music, sculpture, architecture, and especially literature.
In United States
Modernism in the USA was a cultural revolution that started in the early 20th century, especially after World War I.
American modernists wanted to break away from old traditions and show the reality of modern life, with all its problems, speed, and changes.
In literature, writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner used new styles and realistic themes.
They wrote about war, loss, the American Dream, and modern society.
