The Imagist movement was a modernist literary movement that emerged in the early 20th century, particularly around 1912-1917. Led by a group of poets, the Imagists sought to break away from the conventions of Victorian poetry and embrace a more precise and vivid style. Their approach was characterized by the use of sharp, clear language, direct expression, and a focus on visual and sensory imagery. The movement had a significant impact on English literature, influencing subsequent generations of poets and contributing to the broader modernist literary landscape.
