Hıristiyan ahlâk yapısının uzağında daha makyavelist bir ahlâk görüşü hakimdir. Yine de pür bir makyavelist tavırdan öte, geleneksel Hristiyan ahlâkı ile makyavelist tutumun ortasında, daha uzlaşmacı ve vasat bir ahlâk yapısı göze çarpmaktadır..kou yelpazesi çok geniştir.
*Makyavelizm İtalyan düşünür ve politikacı Niccolò Machiavelli'nin düşünceleri üzerine kurulu bir yaklaşımdır.Devlet yönetimi ile ilgili düşüncelerinin temelini Prens adlı kitabında açıklamıştır. Devleti yöneten prensin duygularına kapılmadan ve acıma duygularını bir kenara bırakarak devleti yönetmesi gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Gerektiğinde bir insanın devlet tarafından öldürülmesinin çok daha fazla insanın yaşamasını sağlayacağını belirterek prense öğütler vermektedir. Temelinde bu görüşlere paralel olarak başka bir bakış açısı da "Amaca ulaşmak için her türlü araca başvurmanın uygun olduğu." savıdır.

Review of John Ruskin's Modern Painters in Westminster Review April 1856.
The Brontes: The sisters, Charlotte (born 21 April 1816, in Thornton near Bradford), Emily (born 30 July 1818 in Thornton), and Anne (born 17 January 1820 in Thornton), are well known as poets and novelists.  Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily's Wuthering Heights, Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature.
The three sisters and their brother, Branwell, were very close and they developed their childhood imaginations through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories. The confrontation with the deaths first of their mother then of their two older sisters marked them profoundly and influenced their writing.

1914-1945:Modern Period
-İlham kaynağı Karl Marks ve Sigmund Freud
-Empresyonism ve Kubizmin etkisindedir
-Edebiyat,1. ve 2. Dünya savaşları arasında doruktadır.
-Başlangıcı ,Viktorya dönemi edebiyatçıları olan Gerard Marley Hopkins
A.E.Housman ve Thomas Hardy'dir.
(Empresyonism(İzlenimcilik) , 19. yüzyılda Fransa'da ortaya çıkan ve bütün sanat dallarını, özellikle resmi etkileyen akım. Doğadaki unsurların kişinin içinde oluşturduğu izlenimleri, duygusal izleri yansıtmayı hedefler. Bu akım içerisinde yer alan sanatçılar, doğayı objektif bir gerçek olarak değil, kendilerinde yarattığı izlenimi resme (veya edebi esere) aktarırlar.
İzlenimcilere göre sanatçı doğrudan doğruya gerçeği değil, gördüklerinin kendisinde uyandırdığı duygu ve düşünceleri esas almalı, gerçekçiliği ve nesnelliği ikinci plana atarak, kişisel yorumu ön plana çıkarmalıdır.
İzlenimcilikte, yorumlar ve izlenimler, sanatçıdan sanatçıya değiştiği ve her sanatçı eserinde kendinde oluşan duyguyu ve izlenimi anlatacağı için, meydana getirilen edebî eser, yazarın veya şairin kişiliğine dair izler taşır.
Kübistler ise nesneleri, sanki çevresinde dolaşıyorlarmış gibi, birkaç bakış açısından, cepheden, yandan, üstten, alttan bakarak aynı imge üzerinde göstereceklerdir. Aynı şekilde, bir yüzü hem yandan, hem de iki gözü görülecek biçimde (karmaşık görüntü)vereceklerdir.  )

İki Dunya Savaşı arası yıllarında önemli modernist edebiyatcılar arasında roman yazarları Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, P.G. Wodehouse ve D. H. Lawrence ve dönemin en başta giden İngiliz şairi T. S. Eliot sayılabilir.
Devrin diğer dikkat çekecek yazarları W. H. Auden, Vladimir Nabokov, William Carlos Williams, Ralph Ellison, Dylan Thomas, R.S. Thomas ve Graham Greene olarak sıralanabilir. Ancak bu yazarlardan bazılarının eserleri daha sonra postmodernizm adını alacak akımla daha yakın ilişkileri bulunmaktadır.
