Modernist literature is an opening up of the world in all of its forms - theoretically, philosophically, aesthetically, and politically. Before Modernism, the world was thought of in a Realist's fashion - an image in reading of which projects the world in an objective fashion.
Modernist writing, however, takes the reader into a world of unfamiliarity, a deep introspection, a cognitive thought-provoking experience, skepticism of religion, and openness to culture, technology, and innovation.
the belief in a cyclical time also brings about free will and a cognitive exploration of the subconscious because the reader can climb inside the mind, away from the body and feel free to explore the inner working of one's mind and one's subconscious.
Modernist literature brought about openness in the ways in which authors wrote novel, poetry, and short story.
Politically, Modernist literature questioned and brought to life the changes within society. Life, in the nineteenth-century, took a shift from the country to the city, from the individuality in production to mass production, and from land to factory.
There was a permanent revolutionary shift in development, creation, and the belief in life. With the views of Carl Marx, a shift from capitalism began to take place. Because of the social and economic shifts which took place during this time - electronics, machinery, mass commodity - capitalism and the rise of the bourgeoisie eradicated feudalism and brought momentous forms of communication, transportation, and production.
Modernist literature encompasses the thematic fingerprints of a rebellious, questioning, disbelieving, meditative, and confident type of form, which was conceived out of a change in the belief of humanity, the mind, a God, and the self brought on by the shift from capitalism to an ever-increasing society of revolutionary changes.
