Modernism is marked by a strong and intentional break in tradition and includes a strong reaction against established religious, political, and social views. This literary movement has no connection with history and is a celebration of inner strength. In the wake of World War I, the Lost Generation was the most popular with Modernism in literature. They struggled to find some meaning in the world in the wake of chaos because the war demonstrated that no guiding spirit rules the events of the world. Authors that use modernism are in favor of discovery in creation ("Modernism").
