'Now see I/That warmth's the very stuff of Poetry!' T.E. Hulme, (The Embankment)

Q1: To what extent is modernist writing motivated by a perception that modern life can only be endured if it is transformed into art?

This paper presents analysis of two literature works; one each based on the themes of modernism and realism.

T.E. Hulme's Embankment

Hulme's drive for modernization of poetry and create a new movement in literary and philosophical thought derived from his dissatisfaction with English poetry, as was typical in the decade before the war, and he sent part of their efforts in writing many of the harsh criticism of romanticism. At the heart of Hulme thought was the notion of "image".

The image was defined as the instantaneous receive information through the senses, before this information can be intellectualized by language and actively discussed. Image, Hume argued, was untouched by the material of experience. Intellectualization of the experience was raw images, according to Hume, is necessarily limited, because it is too simplistic a convolution, and depth.

The concept of Hulme's image has changed its continued inclusion Bergson in his speech. Bergson suggested that there are two forms of consciousness. One form is based in the intellect, which applies its knowledge to action. Another form of consciousness of intuition, which serves no other purpose than to understand and experience life through the senses, and among the images. As Jewel Spears Brooker mentions in the dictionary of literary biography, "Bergson, however, was simply an adjective in the cabin of Hulme's ....

With this concept of image as a major speech, Hulme then went for a walk as the images can be presented artistically. He was deeply influenced by the free verse in poetry, as most accurately revealed to him by Gustave Kahn, French symbolist poet. Kahn wrote free verse or free verse in his book premiers poemes (1897). Hume was impressed by the revolutionary approach to poetry Kahn, who resisted following strict rules of meter, rhyme and rhythm, and instead wound to the mind of the writer. This style was not limited to thought, but let him free in the poem.

Mrs. Dalloway (1925) connects the depression of a conservative politician's wife who feels the pressures and demands of staging a successful dinner party to a disabled veteran's death wishes as he undergoes a rehabilitation regime that requires him to avow manliness (De Gay, 2006, 31). Many of Woolf's works concern the dissolution and restructuring of identity as a matter of social imposition. She puzzles over how female identity requires acquiescence to domination and the role of reflecting back an image to a man of twice his natural size. Catering to masculine cultural biases prevents women from undertaking their own careers, either as individual subjects or as ...
