FROM THE VICTORIAN AGE TO MODERNISM

 To better understand the dynamics that allowed the passage from the Victorian Age to Modernism  To have a more complete panorama of the last part of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS PATH?

Which are the reasons that brought doubts, insecurity, sense of isolation and loneliness in the human being’s life? OBJECTIVE OF THE PATH

FIRST PART OF THE THE VICTORIAN AGE ( )  Optimism  Moralism  Faith in progress LITERATURE  Omniscient intrusive third person narrator (Comments of the author)  Realistic novel  Happy end  To give a moral judgment  Linear chronological concept of time  Logical connections in a linear way The reader is conditioned by the narrator’s filter Industrialization and the Britsih Empire brought: The Major literary genre was the NOVEL

SECOND PART OF THE VICTORIA AGE ( ) RELIGIOUS CRISIS Charles Darwin The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) Friedrich Nietzsche AESTHETIC MOVEMENT (1880s) Oscar Wilde Art should not have any moral, social or political purpose God did not create Men People have to find meaning by themselves, they can no longer refer to God “God is dead” The Picture of Dorian Gray

MODERNISM ( ) New theories Sigmund FreudCarl JungAlbert Einstein Henri Bergson William James People’s behaviour depends largely on the unconscious part of their minds Space and time do not exist as separate phenomena A basic element of man’s unconscious mind is formed by his racial memory General Theory of Relativity (1905) The Interpretations of Dreams (1899) The Psychology of the Unconscious (1916) Past and future (as memory and expectation) exist together with the present in people’s mind

MODERNISM The quest for truth.Rejected the old Victorian standards Innovation in LITERATURE  Minimum plot  Poetical language  How to express reality (form)  The eclipse of the narrator  The shift of the point of view  The stream of consciousness technique  Focus on psychology  Simultaneous concept of time The reader is free to make up her/his own point of view.

VIRGINIA WOOLF ( ) Developed a new way of expressing reality:  Interior monologue  Omniscient third person narrator (eclipse of narrator)  The shift of point of view (connectors)  Minimum plot  Chronological and simultaneous time  Poetical language Mrs Dalloway (1925)

JAMES JOYCE ( ) The most important Modernist writer Ulysses (1922) Setting: Dublin, 16 June 1904 (a single day) Characters: Leopold, Molly Bloom, Stephen Structure: 18 chapters have titles derived from the episodes in the Odyssey by Homer Leopold = Ulysses Molly = Penelope  Importance of formal aspect  Eclipse of the narrator  Stream of consciousness  No logical connectors (association)  No punctuation  Simultaneous concept of time  Demands a lot to the reader Characteristics:
