The period starts before World War I is called Modernism, because of the great changes which affected Europe and America.
First of all, there was a radical brake with the literary tradition af the 19th century, in particular the form gor a foundamental importance, according so to the aesthetic movement.
The writers started representing the variety of the urban life,that was fragmentary and caotic, also recourring to the primitive mith,and some particular narrative devices, such as the epiphany and the stream of consciousness.
Their writing was mainlt influenced by the theories of the austrian doctor Sigmund Freud, who explained that the development of our personality was greatly affected by the unconscious, the hidden part of ourselves.
By studiing the human mind, Frued gave great importance to the interpretation of dremas and to the free associations of thoughts. According  to this last theory, each individual associates his ideas freely, guided by the personal experiences.

Modern literature was also influenced by the German philosopher Friedrich mietzche, who showed his contempt for chistrianity and exalted the will to dominate, with the theory of the superman. This, superior to ordinary morality, would replace the christian idela. So according to him, religion lost its indisputable power and men felt deprived of all certainties they had always believed in, with a lack of any reference point. This situation generated a profound sense of anxiety, so that the age was called “the age of Anxiety”.
The Modernism was born abroad with Conrad and Henry James, who used the psychologichal analysis to show the complexity of human mind.Literary Modernism flourished with James Joyce, Thomas Eliot and Virginia Woolf, who deals with the unconsciuos in daily life, by using the “stream of consciuosness technique”.
