Lost Generation Writers.

Catalog description

Examines one of the most remarkable flowerings of literary achievement in American letters, the writing of "The Lost Generation," authors born between 1885 and 1900. Unified by a profound disillusionment with American culture after World War I, writers such as T.S. Eliot, Eugene O'Neill, William Faulkner, and Ernest Hemingway produced enduring modern masterpieces. In the process they demonstrated that their generation might find in art what had been lost on the battlefield.
