Modernism – writers are interested in life of individualism, in the city, in the civilization, achievements of science, technique (railways, telephone…)
Reader see everything through the character
Henry James – central reflector = ↑character
Virginia Woolf – she tried to open character’s mind – stream of consciousness (narrative device) – character’s thought process, lack of some – or all – punctuation
The period roughly between 1890 – 1950 – not exact years
Growth of cities
Modernism rose out of the depression – after 1st world war
James Joyce, William Faulkner, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost – authors of those times
The radical disruption of linear flow of narrative – it doesn’t follow chronology
The focus was introspective – inward looking, self-analysing
Alienation – isolation, detachment
Interest in rhythm and fragments of “everyday” language
Heavy use of symbolism
Interior monologue – organised presentation of a character’s rational thoughts
She spent rest of her life in England
Bloomsbury Circle – authors who discussed new trends – Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, D. H. Lawrence, John Middleton Murry (Bloomsbury was a neighbourhood)
She got sick, she died in very young age
Garden Party (published in 1921) by Katherine Mansfield
Laura changes – she develops – from childhood to maturity, she sees the dead man and she realised she is mortal
She is rich, the dead man was poor – he looks happy
There is equality in death – whether you are rich or poor
The dead man is beautiful so there is nothing to be afraid of, death is a normal end of life
Laura gets knowledge – such as Eve in the garden of Eden – she got a forbidden knowledge
The garden party is located in Laura’s house – New Zealand (there are plants which don’t grow in Europe)
