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.en-USAuthor retains all ownership rights.
