Introduction

=**Introduction**=

====In this webquest we aim to illustrate our understanding of Modernism in its different mediums specifically looking at literature and film. In this study, we aim to analyse the influence of modernism as a literary expression, its legacy as an artisitic movement and its inspirations for contemporary texts. Participation in this study will permit a greater understanding for present day literature and hence, give students the opportunity to explore and investigate certain developments which had originated during this time period.====

====As you have been studying, the Modernist Movement set about a cultural benchmark in Western society during the 19th and 20th Centuries. It represented a shift from traditional forms of art and literature and encouraged a re-exammination of contemporary culture. Broken up into several sub-genres such as the Avant-garde, High Modernism, Vernacular Modernism and Late Modernism, the movement also signified a specific dynamic and aesthetic which would then define and invigorate a cultural movement. This was the period where writers and artists began to adopt technical ideas to explore and experiment the potential of their mediums and bring them into new capacities.====
