Symbolism & Imagism | Literary Movements in English Literature | Modern Age

In today’s video, we will be discussing 2 important literary movements - Symbolism and Imagism.
Symbolism was a literary movement that was against both Realism and Naturalism. The literary movement originated in France in the late 19th century. Many of the major writers of the modern period used symbolism.
Some of the works are symbolist in their settings, agents, actions, as well as in objects they refer to.
Some great examples are W.B. Yeats’ Sailing to Byzantium, Hart Crane‘s The Bridge, TS Eliot‘s The Waste Land, Virginia Woolf’s ‘To the Lighthouse’, James Joyce‘s Finnegan’s Wake, and William Faulkner‘s The Sound and the Fury
.
Imagism was an early twentieth-century poetic movement that emphasized clear, direct language.
Early twentieth-century poets and authors Ezra Pound, Amy Lowell, Richard Aldington, T.S. Eliot, Hilda Doolittle, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams, and Ford Madox Ford are all associated with the Imagist movement.
