Abstract
The many characteristics of western literature of the 20th century are influenced by the culture of Modernity, in which the ideal of free writing is one of those that could best reflect its complex cultural connotation. This conception is borrowed from the modernity that was born out of the Renaissance and developed from the Enlightenment. However, many a cause brings forth a complicated relationship between the conception of free writing and modernity, and its value predominantly manifests the dissident factors of modernity itself.
