<P> One of the most visible changes of this period was the adoption of new technologies into daily life of ordinary people in Western Europe and North America . Electricity, the telephone, the radio, the automobile--and the need to work with them, repair them and live with them--created social change . The kind of disruptive moment that only a few knew in the 1880s became a common occurrence . For example, the speed of communication reserved for the stock brokers of 1890 became part of family life, at least in middle class North America . Associated with urbanization and changing social mores also came smaller families and changed relationships between parents and their children . </P> <P> Another strong influence at this time was Marxism . After the generally primitivistic / irrationalist aspect of pre-World War I Modernism, which for many Modernists precluded any attachment to merely political solutions, and the neoclassicism of the 1920s, as represented most famously by T.S. Eliot and Igor Stravinsky--which rejected popular solutions to modern problems--the rise of Fascism, the Great Depression, and the march to war helped to radicalise a generation . Bertolt Brecht, W.H. Auden, André Breton, Louis Aragon and the philosophers Antonio Gramsci and Walter Benjamin are perhaps the most famous exemplars of this Modernist form of Marxism . There were, however, also Modernists explicitly of' the right', including Salvador Dalí, Wyndham Lewis, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, the Dutch author Menno ter Braak and others . </P> <P> Significant Modernist literary works continued to be created in the 1920s and 1930s, including further novels by Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Robert Musil, and Dorothy Richardson . The American Modernist dramatist Eugene O'Neill's career began in 1914, but his major works appeared in the 1920s, 1930s and early 1940s . Two other significant Modernist dramatists writing in the 1920s and 1930s were Bertolt Brecht and Federico García Lorca . D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover was privately published in 1928, while another important landmark for the history of the modern novel came with the publication of William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury in 1929 . In the 1930s, in addition to further major works by Faulkner, Samuel Beckett published his first major work, the novel Murphy (1938). Then in 1939 James Joyce's Finnegans Wake appeared . This is written in a largely idiosyncratic language, consisting of a mixture of standard English lexical items and neologistic multilingual puns and portmanteau words, which attempts to recreate the experience of sleep and dreams . In poetry T.S. Eliot, E.E. Cummings, and Wallace Stevens were writing from the 1920s until the 1950s . While Modernist poetry in English is often viewed as an American phenomenon, with leading exponents including Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, H.D., and Louis Zukofsky, there were important British Modernist poets, including David Jones, Hugh MacDiarmid, Basil Bunting, and W.H. Auden . European Modernist poets include Federico García Lorca, Anna Akhmatova, Constantine Cavafy, and Paul Valéry . </P> <P> The Modernist movement continued during this period in Soviet Russia . In 1930 composer Dimitri Shostakovich's (1906--75) opera The Nose was premiered, in which he uses a montage of different styles, including folk music, popular song and atonality . Amongst his influences was Alban Berg's (1985--1935) opera Wozzeck (1925), which "had made a tremendous impression on Shostakovich when it was staged in Leningrad ." However, from 1932 Socialist realism began to oust Modernism in the Soviet Union, and in 1936 Shostakovich was attacked and forced to withdraw his 4th Symphony . Alban Berg wrote another significant, though incomplete, Modernist opera, Lulu, which premiered in 1937 . Berg's Violin Concerto was first performed in 1935 . Like Shostakovich, other composers faced difficulties in this period . In Germany Arnold Schoenberg (1874--1951) was forced to flee to the U.S. when Hitler came to power in 1933, because of his Modernist atonal style as well as his Jewish ancestry . His major works from this period are a Violin Concerto, Op. 36 (1934 / 36), and Piano Concerto, Op. 42 (1942). Schoenberg also wrote tonal music in this period with the Suite for Strings in G major (1935) and the Chamber Symphony No. 2 in E ♭ minor, Op. 38 (begun in 1906, completed in 1939). During this time Hungarian Modernist Béla Bartók (1881--1945) produced a number of major works, including Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936) and the Divertimento for String Orchestra (1939), String Quartet No. 5 (1934), and No. 6 (his last, 1939). But he too left for the US in 1940, because of the rise of fascism in Hungary . Igor Stravinsky (1882--1971) continued writing in his neoclassical style during the 1930s and 1940s, writing works like the Symphony of Psalms (1930), Symphony in C (1940) and Symphony in Three Movements (1945). He also emigrated to the US because of World War II . Olivier Messiaen (1908--1992), however, served in the French army during the war and was imprisoned at Stalag VIII - A by the Germans, where he composed his famous Quatuor pour la fin du temps ("Quartet for the End of Time"). The quartet was first performed in January 1941 to an audience of prisoners and prison guards . </P>
