The contrast between Modernist and Contemporary literature is vast. Both reflect the particular ages that they were created in. Modernism was authored in the late 19th to early 20th centuries when psychodynamics was on its rise; existentialist philosophy was the philosophy of the moment, and man, emerging from one World War was attempting to understand his way in the world and was disillusioned with existence. Religion, too, was supplanted by influential philosophers such as Nietzsche, and break in fall ways was conducted with the past. Modernism and post-modernism, represented by chaos, new experimental forms of style and creation, was the trend of the moment. Much of it was disjointed (as in the style of Joyce) and subversive. Contemporary themes, however, were written by writers who lived after the Second World War and were dealing with life in the modern century – in the examples given, in America. Themes included bigotry, technology, the Cold War; being a misfit, a minority, and despair at not belonging, meaninglessness of life; economic fragility; Civil Rights; and feminism. Both Modernism and Contemporary literature reflects its particular age in different ways.
