Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf to express metaphysical and occult concerns. The world in which they lived—the world of the Great War, of Nietzsche's death of God, of secularization and the disintegration of community values—was not conducive to such experience and provided few modes of expression for them, so they used metaphoric and ironic means which reached back to classical and Judeao-Greco rhetoric, that would echo and reverberate, carrying sufficient layers of meaning for their needs.  \nMalcolm Bradbury has dated the modernist period as between 1890 and 1930.1 The dates coincide with societal changes that altered personal perspectives to such an extent that creative expression altered as well. The Great War is the major event influencing the situation of these dates, and Bradbury has included a time frame preceding the war that is nonetheless historically part of the build-up to it.  \nIn challenging the so-called \"real,\" the high realism of the Victorian period, literary modernists exhibited great fascination with irrational forces, unreason and primitivism. They reacted to the breakdown of certainty by seeking \"some sense of the self in relation to the past and to the individual's inner being.\"2 Evelyn Cobley calls it, \"the modernist desire for Baudelaire's \"the eternal and the immutable;\" [which] was satisfied through a \"mythic\"method whose nostalgia for a cultural tradition expresses a deeply conservative impulse.\"3 The seeming contradiction is in the \"deeply conservative impulse\" that underlies the ways the modernist works in this study break from tradition.  \nThe complexity of modernism stems from its containing both the spiritualistic, religious impulses of high romanticism and the scientific, rat","cbCaigMxl14e9Fbg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigMxl14e9Fbg","pdf",3829609,165,"English","# Introduction\n## The Classical Divide: Imagination and Rationality\n## The Nineteenth Century Heritage\n## Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and the Limits of Knowledge\n## Modernism, Myth, and Metaphysical Expression","[{\"question\":\"What does the study focus on in modernist writing?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses figures of speech used by H.D., D.H.
