How did modernist literature evolve the novel, and what specific work could serve as an archetype of these innovations?

The literary modernist movement occurred in England and America during the 19th century and into the early 20th century. During this period, artists progressed from realism's removed perspective on daily life, towards a focus on characters' internal psychological experiences. An archetype of the modern novel, Virginia Wolf's "Mrs. Dalloway", includes hallmarks of the period: a slightly unreliable narrator, a sense of self-awareness, and fractured structure.
