There are several characteristics of Modernist literature. Those writing in the Modernist style turned away from a Romantic view of the world. Instead, they focused on their inner selves. Modernist writers typically saw the dark side of technology and capitalism and viewed these as detrimental to the connectedness of individuals to one another. Modernist literature is typically told through the first person and tends not to follow a linear, traditional pattern so much as go wherever the author's mind goes.
