Edwardian Period (10 magg 1901 anni – 24 marzo 1914 anni)

Descrizione:

The Edwardian era is a period of time in British history that commonly dates from the end of the Victorian era in 1901 until the beginning of the First World War in 1914. The period is named after the reign of King Edward VII. Although Edward's reign ended with his death in 1910, the four years that succeeded are also referred to as 'Edwardian'. The Edwardian era is the last in British history to be named after a reigning monarch.
The Edwardian era saw the origins of movements such as Modernism, the Bloomsbury Group and, somewhat ironically, the Georgian poets. The Bloomsbury group were a collective of authors, painters and critics who would often meet in the London district of their name. The majority of these movements chose to move away from the traditional forms of storytelling and poetry to embrace more experimental methods. Authors started using techniques including unreliable narrators and using a stream of consciousness. The Georgian poets, by contrast, were almost anti-modern, producing lyric poetry with rural and pastoral themes. Many of these Georgian poets found themselves fighting in the First World War.
