The language as historical condition allows us to know the entity of aesthetic modernity. Actually, our modern literature limitations are apparent. Nevertheless we don’t have to overlook literary men’s efforts with the language in 1910’s ～1920’s. Especially we have to look at aesthetic modernity in a field of language. This article searches how a language which expressed emotions and represented an idea is transformed into a purity language which took aim at itself. Aesthetic modernity and the modern subject are realized in text-contents of 1920’s poem and other works.
