Abstract
This article contends that the revolutionary forms
we encounter in Modernist writing owe to «The
New» as much as to some of their predecessors,
among them John Henry Newman. Its purpose is
therefore that of mitigating the current historicistic
perspectives on Modernism, by retracing a pattern
of continuity that goes from Romanticism to Mo-
dernism, both in terms of idealism as its philoso-
phical premise, and in terms of formal experimen-
tation, expressed through the esthetic of the frag-
ment and through a renegotiation of realism. To
do so, it will be looking at John Henry Newman as
the ideological center of these philosophical and
esthetic developments, while also touching on the
influence of Newman’s vision on Decadence and
Irish Modernism.
