Northrop Frye gave the theory of Archetypal criticism based on the on...

But it can be said that modernism was started at the end of 19 th century and reached its most radical peak on the eve of World War I.   As far as modernist poetry is concerned, it mainly started in a yearly year of 20 th century or refers to a poetry written between 1890 and 1950 in Europe and North America in the tradition of modernist literature.
