Another characteristic seen in many modernist pieces is the dissatisfaction with contemporary life and the writers clear pessimistic attitude towards the modern world. (Childs, p. 4). Other thematic characteristics, involve the breakdown of social norms and tainting of apparent religious certainties. Modernist writers often detailed about lack of faith and the uncertainty of a 'Godless universe'. Stream of consciousness is a chief idea in modernist literature and is used by many writers as an essential form of expression. The reader is plunged into the mind of the character and the feel of uncertainty and an unfamiliar world is felt due to the character's own alienation, unlike familiar scenes captured in realist novels such as Jane Austen's 'Emma'. These characters often placed in an urban, dysfunctional society and cityscapes, which deeply affects the thoughts and mind of the individual. Free verse or vers libre, is a common feature of the Modernist poetry, allowing the writer to express their thoughts in a more liberal and less-restrictive manner. Furthermore discontinuous narrative, juxtaposition, and unconventional use of language and images are chief characteristics of Modernist Literature as with the work of Baudelaire shifts in rhythm and unusual changing of time order and sudden transitions are displayed in modernist works.

In the writing of modernism there was a clear negativity, an almost depressing air conveyed by the intense combination of words and expressions. This contrasts sharply to Victorian literature of the nineteenth-century and it’s display of optimism through characterisation, plot and language, an obvious distance from the mostly pessimistic modernist literature. A chief idea seen running through a good number of modernist fiction is the alienation of the individual of a restless mind and thoughts Collier and Davies, 1990,). Scepticism towards the notion of truth is a recurring idea in modernism contrasting dramatically with the apparent attempt at revealing the truth in naturist or realist writing, popular in nineteenth century Brutish writing.

Modernism became apparent in English-speaking cultures around 1910. There became an obvious shift from the neat linear plots and detailed characterisation of nineteenth century literature to literature based on myth, poetic images, and symbols. The First World War had a major affect on literature written in the countrys involved. The devastating consequences and moral disaster of the War emphasised the cultural chaos and the breakdown and spiritual disintegration of individuals. This negative and depressing atmosphere conveyed through pieces of literature, such as T.S. Eliot's well-known poem 'The Waste Land'. The piece written conflicts with conventional narrative structure and reveals images, which seem unconnected and fragmented. The images used are fairly difficult to decode representing the idea of exclusive meanings and elitism, a common feature of modernist literature. The metaphor of vision is key to the poem, which is another essential idea in modernism, writers were much more interested in the workings of the mind than in that of the body and worked at conveying mental images to the reader's intelligence. 'Modernism in literature was characterised by a desire to open up unexplored ares of the mind, including the unconscious realms'. Psychological and philosophical elements are constantly apparent in modernist works. Modernist narrative aims to depart from the desires of the body and to express the mind fully. The writers of this movement tend to focus on small scale ideas rather than the large, such as the indivual in preference to society.

Additional key aspects of Modernist literature involve 'open form, a difficult or complex mental landscape, an unreliable narrator and psychological and linguistic repitition, obsession with language, deep introspection, and techinical and formal experimentation' (Wikipedia). As we have just seen in the Modernist style in prose, Modernist poetry is also technically innovative. Free verse is mainly used to enhance expression and the mental-depth of the poems. 'What is particularly Modernist in the poems themselves is the refusal to elaborate a structured network of argument or symbolism; the tendency to present a series of irrational images which express mental activity in contingent visual and sensory form, above all in terms of desire' (Collier and Davies, p. 32). The Modernist image in poetry is of a fragmented and isolated nature, where the image of the creative poet relates to the notion of the 'unconscious'. The image used in Modernist pieces of literature represents the imagination rather than to convey symbolic meaning. A single image is often used in Modernist poetry rather than a compilation of images as Ezra Pound expresses; 'It is better to present one Image in a lifetime than to produce voluminous works'. The language written in such an open form can appear chaotic but the focus is on the flow of the language and the spatial awareness on the page. The isolated image is the 'most characteristic feature of Modernist poetry'. The Modernist belief is that language cannot be trusted as it is unable to directly describe things only hinting at a world seen in the mind. The poem acts visually on the page and the language and spacial structure reveal a deeper level behind the literature and link heavily to psycho-analysis (Collier and Davies, p. 18)

Modernist literature is 'reckoned to be the art of what Harold Rosenburg calls 'the tradition of the new'' and is based around the idea of experimentation, linguistic innovation and the exploration of complex and original ideas. In Europe the avant-garde, as Modernism was first named, of literature expressed chaos, dysfunction, and a negative, depressing mind frame. Literature written in the Modernist style shares many characteristics and concepts. The writers of the Modernist movement, shares ideas through their literature and used certain techniques to create the desired affect (Childs, 2000, p. 1)
