The Moderns
Challenging the American Dream
What Is Modernism?
Modernism refers to the bold new experimental styles
and forms that swept the arts during the first part of the
twentieth century.

Terry Janacek/HRW Photo

•Modernism reflects a loss of faith in traditional values
and beliefs, including the American Dream.
What Is the American Dream?
America is a
new Eden, a
“promised land” of
beauty, unlimited
resources,
and endless
opportunities.

The
American
Dream

Progress is
a good thing,
and we can
optimistically
expect life to
keep getting
better and better.

The independent, self-reliant
individual will triumph.
Everything is possible for
the person who places trust in
his or her own powers and potential.
A Harsh Awakening
Events of the early twentieth century brought a loss of
innocence and a strong disillusionment with tradition.
These events included
•World War I (1914–1918), which resulted in
destruction on a scale never before seen
•the Great Depression that followed the 1929 crash of
the New York stock market

Cultural Changes
•European modernist painters such as Henri Matisse
and Pablo Picasso explored new ways to see and
represent reality.
•In the Russian Revolution of 1917, Russians adopted
socialism as the new system of government. Socialism
was in direct opposition to the American system of
capitalism.
•Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, introduced
new insights into the workings of the subconscious
mind.
Cultural Changes

•The 1919 Prohibition law led to bootlegging and
ushered in the Jazz Age.
•In 1920, women in the U.S.A. won the right to vote.
Characteristics of Modern Literature
•New experiments with form and technique in both
poetry and prose
•A new kind of hero who is flawed and disillusioned yet
honorable and courageous
•Questioning of traditional beliefs and social structures
Experiments with Form: Poetry
•Symbolist poetry focuses on the emotional effect that
objects can suggest and leads readers to discover
truths through their own intuition and imagination.
•The Imagists emphasized the importance of using the
“exact” word to create a clear image. They chose
everyday words over flowery, sentimental language.
•The Harlem Renaissance was a powerful upsurge of
African American cultural expression begun in 1920 in
Harlem, New York.
Experiments with Form: Prose
Psychoanalysis sparked new interest in the workings of
the psyche. This interest led to the writing technique
called stream of consciousness.
•The stream of consciousness style portrays the inner,
often chaotic workings of a character's mind.
•This style was used famously by Irish writer James
Joyce in his novel Ulysses and later by American
writers Katherine Anne Porter and William Faulkner.
Flawed Heroes
Fictional heroes began to reflect disillusionment.
•Ernest Hemingway introduced a new kind of hero to
American literature—a man of action who is
disillusioned yet honorable and courageous and who
shows “grace under pressure.”
•In the realistic novel An American Tragedy, Theodore
Dreiser portrayed an ambitious but luckless man
whose life ends in ruin.
•Edgar Lee Masters gave voice to the dark side of
small-town life in Spoon River Anthology, a collection
of poems narrated by the town’s dead.
Questioning Traditions
Some poets still favored traditional poetic forms,
although their subject matter was modern.
•Robert Frost used conventional poetic forms to create
a unique, modern poetic voice.
•Some Harlem Renaissance poets, such as Paul
Laurence Dunbar, used conventional forms to express
urgent, timely concerns about African American
experience.
What Still Remains
•American Modernists challenged the American Dream,
but they also retained some of its ideals.
• The ideal of self-reliance persisted.
• Writers such as Hemingway still envisioned the American
landscape as a kind of Eden.

•Regardless of their experiments with literary form,
writers still continued to ask basic, universal questions
about the meaning and purpose of our existence.
