This group of American authors, poets, and composers came of age during World War I and were disillusioned by the experience of the war and the social and cultural changes of the 1920s. They were known for their exploration of themes of alienation, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
Other prominent members of the Lost Generation included:
* Gertrude Stein
* Ezra Pound
* T.S. Eliot
* William Faulkner
* John Dos Passos
* E.E. Cummings
Their works often reflected a sense of cynicism and a rejection of traditional values, and they often used innovative literary techniques to express their ideas.
