The "Generation of 1920," often referred to as the "Lost Generation," includes writers and artists who came of age during and after World War I. This group experienced disillusionment due to the war's devastation and the societal changes that followed. Key figures include Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein, who explored themes of alienation and the search for meaning in their works. Many members of this generation moved to Paris, where they formed a vibrant expatriate community. They challenged traditional values and experimented with new literary styles, contributing significantly to modernist literature. Their experiences and perspectives shaped the cultural landscape of the 1920s and beyond.
