The movement between the beginning of the 20th Century until the 30’s in Great Britain is known as Modernism, it appeared in all arts but it’s basically a reaction against the actual concept of arts, life, society… on the 19th Century. During that century when a writer wanted to express a feeling he shares it with the rest of the world, that finishes with the arriving of the 20th Century.
In an article of Virginia Woolf said that Reality can’t be express in a poem because there are a million of things, things that can be very important for me, maybe not for others. There is a new conception of man.
Solitude is a feeling that many modernists try to express, the I World War is a good example because there died a lot of people and every thing became ruins.
During that period we can find some authors with those characteristics in their writing, but we can point up three of them such as E.M Forster, D.H Lawrence and J. Joyce.
