In the early twentieth century, subjects of the British Empire
ceased to rely on a model of centre and periphery in imagining
their world and came instead to view it as an interconnected
network of cosmopolitan people and places. English language and
literature were promoted as essential components of a commercial,
cultural, and linguistic network that spanned the globe. John Marx
argues that the early twentieth century was a key moment in the
emergence of modern globalization, rather than simply a period of
British imperial decline. Modernist fiction was actively engaged in
this transformation of society on an international scale. The very
stylistic abstraction that seemed to remove modernism from social
reality, in fact internationalized the English language. Rather
than mapping the decline of Empire, modernist novelists such as
Conrad and Woolf celebrated the shared culture of the English
language as more important than the waning imperial structures of
Britain.
