Explanation and Analysis:

Brideshead Revisited is an important example of late Modernist fiction, capturing the disillusionment and tragedy of a war-ravaged Europe. The novel carries certain hallmarks of the Modernist and late-Modernist era, including thematic explorations of doomed youth and rapid cultural change. At the time, societal morals shifted away from Protestant conservatism, coinciding with rapid secularization of public institutions.
