High Modernism is an emphasis on impressionism and subjectivity in writing and in visual arts. High modernism was the age of vast changes in films, books, and life. This can be seen in the work of Woolf and Fiero. Many called the film, "Battleship Potemkin" a landmark in the era of high modernism. During the 1920's and 1930's, following the WWI, the literary age wanted changes. Virginia Woolf was one of the writers who took her place in the high modernism world. "To the Lighthouse" brings the reader to think about the world and others. As we read, we experience the feelings Mr. Ransey has after losing his wife. (Sichel)
