As we have discussed in class, Modernism is most easily remembered in the words of Ezra Pound:
"Make it new."
Modernist literature captured the uncertainty and futility of
then-modern life, and did so in a way that challenged the linear
narrative by telling stories out of sequence or according to the
structures of mythology. (If that seems complicated or confusing,
please consult your notes from our class discussions and/or look the
words up.)
For a more serious geeking out on Modernism in literature, the Wikipedia entry is a great place to start--and a lousy place to stop. Follow the external links and/or search on duckduckgo for additional credible/academic resources.
*UPDATE*
You can find a thorough, detailed treatment of Modernism HERE
