What is Modernity in Literary Tradition about?
The word modernity is paradoxical as it has always been used to distinguish an era from the past yet literary tradition shows it was not unique to any period. While terms like modernite emerged recently, their meanings depend on the longer history of words like modernus. However, seeing modernity as simply repeating ancient literary tropes of new vs old obscures the historical breaks between eras.
