Lost generation The phrase was coined by Gertrude Stein (spoken to Hemingway): “You are all a lost generation.” Group of American writers in the Post-World War One era who were:  Displeased with American social values, sexual and aesthetic conventions, and established morality  First fled to cities such as Chicago and San Francisco; then to Paris, London, Madrid, Barcelona, and Rome (in particular, Montparnasse).  Disillusioned by World War One.  All pioneered new ways of writing, rebelling against the traditional Victorian literary style. Included writers such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Gertrude Stein, and T.S. Eliot

NAZI Propoganda Leni Riefensthal “Triumph of the Will”- propaganda documentary of the rise of NAZISM Hitler condemned modern art and literature as obscene.

Literature Stream of Consciousness-innermost thoughts expressed James Joyce-Ulysses-everyday life in Dublin Herman Hesse- spiritual loneliness in mechanized society
