How does George Orwell's 1984 relate to modernism?

Modernism is a term that has usually been applied to artistic movements (modernism in
literature, in painting, music, and so on) or, less frequently, to general cultural attitudes
associated with the early to mid twentieth century (or even up to our own time). If we are
talking about the style in which 's is writtenin other words, about
1984 as a novelI would not regard it as
"modernist," in comparison with certain other novels, or literature in general, of
Orwell's time and earlier. Orwell gives us a straightforward third-person narrative as opposed
to, say, the stream-of-consciousness manner of James Joyce. Even in comparison with a much more
accessible writer like Hemingway there is, in my view, something much more traditional about
Orwell's prose style, almost harking back to the novels of Somerset Maugham, whom Orwell greatly
admired and whose influence he acknowledged.
