What is Modernism Becoming in the Postmodern?

In the context of our contemporary “becoming Postmodern” this paper works to acknowledge the idea of “becoming” in modern and postmodern thinkers such as Henri Bergson and Gilles Deleuze. Taking three “case-study” moments from canonical modernist literary texts by Yeats, Woolf and Eliot, it argues that we can observe these writers in the process of becoming Modernists and that in our Postmodern age we should work anew to see Modernism, not as an assortment of “dead classics” but as an anticipation of the Postmodern in that it demonstrates a process of becoming its others in which it most becomes itself.
