IT was a new way of capturing experience and identity. 
Modernism encompasses a variety artistic and philisophical movement which include symbolism, futurism, imagism, vorticism data and more. IT is the progression of life of a group of people from an antique or old fashioned way to a new way of living.  
Three Main Wrtiers in Modernism was T.S. Eliot, Wallave Stevens, and William Faulkner. 
        1.  T.S. Eliot was considered to be one of the most important poets in the modernistic movement in which he influenced many though his poetry. He shaped how literature was back then at the time. In one of his greatest statements "Tradition and the Individual Talent," Elliot defined poetry as an escape from emotion and personality. This is a definition that many American Poets have either embraced, argued with, or denounced as many say that it is vital to modernism. Elliot influenced a whole new generation of poets that is remarkable for htre sheer number of its brilliantly talented voices and for the restless diversity of their seneibilities and points of view. Eliot submitted a poem called "The Triumph of Bullshit" for publication in London by an avant-garde magezine. He then recieved the editor's letter explaining his rejection of that work as Eliot included the workd bullshit in his poem and that "bullshit" have never been printed before 1915. Eliot was dissapointed in this puritanical rejection (meaning that this affected the strict moral behavior; going agaisnt society's norms). This was later published and was a sucess. Eliot wanted to put something out that was against society's norms and was rejected. Eventhough this was a bump in his career, he went on to lateer publish "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1915 which was a huge hit and reshapted poetry in itself (moderm poetry).

Main Events in Modernism 
     The Great Depression was from October 29, 1929-1939 which was     (the branching event to Post- modernism,) as the great depression was at the end of modernism.
      World War 1 was toward the 1914-1918 and was toward the end of the modernist era.
Both the Great depression (which was caused by post-world war 1 times) and the great depression were not only some of the main events but some of the branching events to the post- modernistic era.

William Faulkner studied for a while at the University of Mississippi, and temporarily worked for a New York bookstore and a New Orleans newspaper. Soon, when he started writing novels, he invented different types of characters that were typical of the historical growth and the moral of the South. The human drama in Faulkner's novels were built in the model of the actual, historical drama extended over almost a century and a half. ]]> 2017-09-20 20:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykat555/ncgclhwlrqpr/wish/189525910
