In 1916, Yeats quite suddenly decided that he didn't want to write pretty poems anymore - he wanted to write
realistic poems: poems as urgent and as uncluttered as a newspaper article.
He even wrote a poem about his decision: "A Coat".
Virginia Woolf
During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society
and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the
novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and
the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A
woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
POST MODERNISM
• The term Postmodern literature is used to describe certain
characteristics of post–World War II literature, relying
heavily, for example, on fragmentation, paradox,
questionable narrators.
• Unifying features often coincide with Jean-François Lyotard's
concept of the "metanarrative" and "little narrative",
Jacques Derrida's concept of "play", and Jean Baudrillard's
"simulacra." For example, instead of the modernist quest for
meaning in a chaotic world, the postmodern author eschews,
often playfully, the possibility of meaning, and the postmodern
novel is often a parody of this quest.
Post Modernism
Jean Francois Lyotard
Lyotard's work is characterised by a persistent opposition to universals, he is
fiercely critical of many of the 'universalist' claims of the Enlightenment, and
several of his works serve to undermine the fundamental principles that generate
these broad claims.
