Modernism (English 11)
Modernism is hard to define. Steven Byrd of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke said it best by stating, “Whereas previous American literary periods were best defined by certain stylistic conventions or popular schools of thought, the modern period of American literature is better defined by the traditions it broke rather than any tradition it created”. As we keep this in mind, we will explore many different genres of literature, unique styles, various story lines, and fascinating characters which all make up this very diverse and very important movement of American literature.
