1366 If he heard songs or instruments of music, then would he weep and could not be consoled. So feeble and low and changed were his spirits, that nobody could recognize his speech or his voice even if they heard them. And in his behavior he acted not only as if he had the lover’s sickness of Eros, but rather like madness sprung from melancholy in the cell of imagination in his brain. In short, both the disposition and habits of this woeful lover, lord Arcite, were turned all upside-down. 1379 Why should I describe all day his woe?
As a broad description modernism describes to not only the style but the ideologies of art created between the 1860s and the 1970s. Due to industrialization; traditional forms of artwork had become obsolete, leaving the door open for modernism. According to Whitworth (2007) ““Modernism” is not so much a thing as a set of responses to problems posed by the conditions of modernity.” Modernity is referring to a post-medieval period of time most famously marked by industrialisation.
