Mrs. Dalloway!!

"If ever there was a work conceived in response to the state of the novel, a consciously "modern" novel, it is Mrs. Dalloway. Virginia Woolf was beset by the inadequacies of the old designs but well aware that a display of method could appear shallow and heartless and that mere technical innovation made nothing new." - viii, Maureen Howard's introduction

"Make it new!" - the mantra of Ezra Pound, and a slogan that serves as a decent representation of Modernist ideals.
