Answers
Answer:
Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown’ is an important exploration of modernism by Virginia Woolf. This edition of the essay was published on 30 October 1924 by the Hogarth Press. It is the first number within the first Hogarth Essays series, which ran from 1924 to 1926.
‘Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown’ was originally published as 'Character in Fiction' in the July 1924 issue of The Criterion, a journal edited by T S Eliot.
Defining modernity
Towards the start of the essay Woolf writes about the arrival of modernism, making the now-famous observation: ‘On or about December 1910 human character changed’. (This date refers to the seminal exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists, organised by Roger Fry.) This change in human character caused a domino-effect: 'All human relations have shifted – those between masters and servants, husbands and wives, parents and children. And when human relations change there is at the same time a change in religion, conduct, politics, and literature'.
Modernity, as defined by Woolf, is a society and culture in flux. With references to breaking, ‘smashing and crashing’, and chaotic noise, Woolf presents modernity as fragmentary and unstable. These observations are crucial to Woolf’s main argument.
