Presumption, Often Promulgated by Scholars
Modernism, in one sense ,is a reaction to romanticism and classicism; the strict rules of art and the overly emotive forms and themes so popular in the late 19th century. Romanticism began as a reaction – not so much against anything concrete, more as a result of social moods of the time-period. In music it was a way to expand Classical "rules," harmonies, and forms of expression; in literature and poetry a broad range of reactions towards pieces that were too formal. As an artistic movement, then, romanticism meant many things, but focused on nature, the meaning and exploration of the self, the idea that it was permissible to bend the rules of society in order to engender self-actualization, and the freedom to challenge authority and reason. Modernism in literature, on the other hand, is the literary expression of tendencies that surround individualism, mistrust of institutions (political, social, religious), apathy, agnosticism, and individualism.
