dc.description.abstractThe authors of the Modernist era are best known for their unique styles of writing that deviated from the traditional narrative structures of the past. After World War I, the world began to move in a new direction towards modernity. Modernists used their new ways of writing to not only capture Western sentiment during this time, but to also encourage new ways of thinking as the world emerged from chaos and began anew. However, this essay argues that many techniques that the Modernists used were not as new as scholars often make them out to be. In fact, the techniques such as stream-of-consciousness, unreliable narration, and fragmentation, were all inspired by the authors of 19th century Russia. Alongside the analysis of these literary devices, this essay also examines the influential relationships between certain authors of these eras such as Gogol and Kafka, Turgenev and Hemingway, and Dostoevsky and Woolf.
