Modernist poetics are largely influenced by important scientific changes that took place in the western world in the early decades of the 20th century. Questions raised by a new perception and knowledge of reality and truth mainly in the fields of mathematics and physics, together with a new philosophical altitude, brought along a linguistic and literary openess to innovating ways of conceiving language in its various and multiform functions and uses. Apart from a theoretical approach to the subject, and and occasional reference to the Portuguese modernist poet Mário de Sá-Carneiro, special emphasis is given to some English modernist writers like Joyce, Eliot and Pound.
