"Although generally called a movement, it is more valid to see modernism as an international body of literature characterized by a new self-consciousness about modernity and by radical formal experimentation. Several literary movements and styles, notably Imagism and Vorticism, were fostered within modernism, which flourished from around 1890 until 1940. There was also a period of so-called high modernism, 1920-5."
Modernism is looked at in many different ways even as a "movement." Originally, it is just a form of literature. That's what it should always be viewed as.
