War and Its Aftermath Disillusionment with Old Ideas and Ideals Wider Cultural Awareness Fragmentation of Experience

The “lost generation” – disenchanted with America, left and went to Paris T. S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” summed up sterility of postwar world. Glittering city dwellers faced disillusion and emptiness. The Harlem Renaissance captured the sights, sounds, and emotions of modern urban life. Midwest, California, South became settings for ironic and tragicomic tales.

Women writers took on a larger role African-American writers took on a larger role Established literary “rules” broken (shorter bursts of ideas, less natural flow)

Narrative Conventions ignored: transitions left out, plotlines unresolved, characters’ dreams and fantasies woven into narratives Forms: multi-layered chapters, free-flowing volumes, images rather than explanations, stream-of- consciousness, snappier dialogue Themes: Implied – look very closely and figure it out for yourself. Tone: Ironic tone depicts difference between the world as it was and how it should have been.
