MODERNIST LITERATURE cf WITH CLASSICAL
Make room for novels here
Dostoevsky
All of Dostoevsky’s heroes question themselves as to the meaning of life. In this they are modern: they do not fear ridicule. What distinguishes modern sensibility from classical sensibility is that the latter thrives on moral problems and the former on metaphysical problems. In Dostoevsky’s novels the question is propounded with such intensitythat it can only invite extreme solutions. Camus
