Historical Events cluu1041_2 https://padlet.com/cluu1041_2/jlil6do867fv/wish/447632410 WWI - The US went into WWI with the ideas that it will promote democracy & peace. However, the ideas that went into the war didn't come out alive. Instead, the US recoiled into a state of disillusionment & inflation. The Red Scare also influenced the American population by turning against immigrants. However, postwar disillusionment was also liberating, transforming the habits & forms of tradition. Artists, musicians, & writers experimented with new styles, forms, & subject matter.
The Roaring 1920s - The Roaring 1920s was a time where there were many innovations in the business & stock market such as Ford's assembly line or investments into stocks. This influenced Modernism as Ford's assembly line challenged the old work labor while the investments challenged workers who work full-time without investments.
The Great Depression - The Great Depression was a time where the US was in a state of in-debt & wouldn't be able to pay off WWI until WWII. The human cost of the Great Depression engaged several Modernist writers. The writers of the Modernist period imagined a new meaning for an American dream tarnished by world war & a devastating depression. Their experiments in form & subject matter produced some of the most enduring works in American literature.]]> 2020-02-19 18:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cluu1041_2/jlil6do867fv/wish/447632410 3.
