Modernism in British arts, literature and philosophy is manifest as
a unique thing around and after 1900. This paradigm shift in all
arts and modern science made traditional beliefs, norms, and social
patterns obsolete. Forerunners were 19th-century intellectuals, who
favoured a new and lively spiritual culture. A new concept of
reality not only changed the view of nature (atomic physics) but
also the structure and gist of literature. As the belief in the
visible world declined, consciousness and symbolism (surface and
depth structures) occupied the focus of attention. Literature
became an autonomous field. From artistic subjectivity modernism
led the way to crystallizing creations of complex imaginative
structures. Simultaneously, neorealism in philosophy and relativity
in physics substituted a worn-out mechanistic world picture by a
scientific reality reaching far beyond the visible world.
