james joyce's "ulysses" is the classic example of modernism in the novel. "ulysses" (1922) has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire modernist movement". franz kafka's "the metamorphosis" (1915), "the trial" (1925) and t.s. eliot's poem "the waste land" (1922) are also prime examples. looking back, it is clear that: fyodor dostoyevsky's "crime and punishment" (1866) had a great influence on other writers.
