Ga Virtual Learning: British Lit: 20th Century Postmodernism: Introduction

This is an introduction to a unit on 20th Century Postmodernism in British poetry and short stories. Although the works in this unit vary in style and themes, each reflects disorder and an attempt to create a new reality. The unit looks at two essential questions: How does Modernist philosophy reflect disillusionment in British attitudes? and Who were some of the prominent figures in the Modernist and Postmodernist movements and how did they influence the creative flow and process of writing?
