Notes: American Modernism: Dates will vary, but it was roughly 1900-1960. Came to be due to increasing industrialization and globalization, as well as WWI and WWII. Characterized by disillusionment, the decline of civilization, and loneliness. Think cold machinery and industrialization. Kinda makes me think about the internet age in which we live. Mostly first person Steam of Consciousness Irony, satire, and comparisons were employed to point out the ills of society.

The Lost Generation: the post-World War I generation, but specifically a group of U.S. writers who came of age during the war and established their literary reputations in the 1920s. The term stems from a remark made by Gertrude Stein to Ernest Hemingway, “You are all a lost generation.” Hemingway used it as an epigraph to The Sun Also Rises (1926), a novel that captures the attitudes of a hard-drinking, fast-living set of disillusioned young expatriates in postwar Paris. The generation was “lost” in the sense that its inherited values were no longer relevant in the postwar world and because of its spiritual alienation from a U.S. Members believe the US to be hopelessly provincial, materialistic, and emotionally barren. The term embraces Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound and many other writers who made Paris the center of their literary activities in the ’20s.

The Jazz Age – from the end of WWI to the beginning of the great depression (1918-1929. Characterized by hedonism, freedom, and exuberance. F. Scott Fitzgerald coined the term. Also called the Roaring 20’s and the Golden Twenties Disillusionment - a feeling of disappointment resulting from the discovery that something is not as good as one believed it to be.
