Professor Frank Kermode and Barbara Everett consider the question `what was modernism?' in relation to TS Eliot's The Waste Land and Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway. The language of Modernist poetry and novels, the use of allusions and structure in Modernist literature, and the implications for the reader are all subjects of discussion, as is the idea that Modernism arose out of a specific historical context - the First World War.
