Lost Generation writers

The Lost Generation refers to a group of American writers who came of age during World War I and felt disillusioned by societal values and the war's aftermath. They often expressed themes of confusion, existential angst, and a sense of aimlessness in their work. Prominent members include Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein. Their writings capture the disillusionment of the post-war era, exploring the decline of traditional values and the search for meaning in a changing world. Their work helped define the cultural atmosphere of the 1920s and influenced modern literature profoundly.
