New Literature – The Lost Generation

• Postwar writers saw WWI as a moral breakdown of western civilization

• Commented on immorality of men and women all in a search for happiness and meaning in life

• Work conveys a sense of loss, and meaninglessness of life

• Examples of Lost Generation works– T.S. Elliot The Waste Land– F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby

F.S. Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night

"This land here cost twenty lives a foot that summer...See that little stream--we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month

to walk it--a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very

slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs. No Europeans will ever do that again in this

generation."

Uhhh… I sure hope he’s right…
