- The decades before and after the turn of the twentieth century saw a rejection of Victorian optimism and a move toward skepticism and resignation. The new century brought with it a sense of flux and indeterminacy—a perception that truth and certainty no longer existed and that identities, social relations, and meaning structures, could be made and unmade according to need, opportunity and inclination. Some writers responded to these changes with dark pessimism, stoicism, or outright despair, while others cheerfully embraced the chance to experiment with new forms. Choose one of the works below, and fully discuss it as a modernist text.
Minimum 2.5 pages – Do not use outside sources, just your textbook or other materials assigned for the class. Be sure to quote from the work and text intro on Modernism or other class-assigned materials as you develop your examination of the “heart of darkness” as a Modernist text. Include Internal Citations and a Work Cited page. Do not include a summary of the work.
