The Centenary Of Modernist Literature

The year 1922, when the experimental works in which Modernism made itself most visible as a movement in literature, Virginia Woolf's novel Jacob's Room, James Joyce's Ulysses, and T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land were published, is named the annus mirabilis of Modernism, the year of wonders. Although plenty of studies have alluded to its importance, this historical moment has not been studied in depth yet until the past few years.
