A Lost Generation?

Understand the widespread disillusionment with prewar institutions, authorities, and values that resulted in a void that was later filled by totalitarians.

Discuss the influence of World War I on literature, art, and intellectual life in the West (e.g., Pablo Picasso, the "lost generation" of Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway).

What was the Lost Generation?

The lost generation was a term coined by Gertrude Stein to describe young American artists (mostly writers)

who rejected American ideals in the 1920s and moved to Paris to live the bohemian lifestyle (party it up, live for today, because there may be no tomorrow).

Famous members of the Lost Generation included Stein herself, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The Lost Generation thought that Western Civilization was coming to an End…

Why would intellectuals have thought WWI was the end of the superiority of Western Civilization?

1918

The Lost Generation felt betrayed by their leaders, their culture, and their institutions.

They asked themselves “How could all this death and destruction have been allowed to happen?”

They felt helpless, and lost. They despaired for the future. Where once they had trusted, now they did not. It appeared that Good had lost the battle against Evil.

Writers tried to capture the bleak hopelessness of War T.S. Eliot- The Waste Land (1922) JRR Tolkien- The Lord Of The Rings (1937-

1954) F. Scott Fitzgerald- The Great Gatsby (1925) Ernest Hemingway-

An American novelist Served in WWI A Farewell to Arms (1929) "I know the night is not the same as the day: that

all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started."

Modern Art- Artists tried to capture new perceptions of reality…

Old styles of art couldn’t express the deep distress caused by WWI.

In many cases, people did not want to remember the war too clearly or too exactly.

WWI changed the way people perceived the world and this was reflected in their art.

“Oppy Wood” – John Nash, 1917

“Gassed and Wounded”Eric Kennington, 1918

“Those Who Have Lost Their Names”Albin Eggar-Linz, 1914

Cubism- Reality broken into Pieces Cubism was born out of

the experience of the WWI battlefield.

At night, exploding bombs lit the sky in quick flashes, causing the world to look disjointed, distorted, disordered, and broken up into stark pieces.

In Cubism… Objects are broken up and

re-assembled in abstract form.

Surrealism- Trying to show how things Feel During WWI, the founder of

surrealism, André Breton, who had trained in medicine and psychiatry, served in a neurological hospital where he used the psychoanalytic methods of Sigmund Freud with soldiers who were shell-shocked.

He sought a way to express the inner workings of the mind, those feelings, experiences, urges and impressions that were separated from logic and reason.

Surrealism is an art movement that sought to link the world of dreams with real life.

Surreal—beyond or above reality

Music- Ragtime, Jazz and Swing Musical artists in the US combined

African rhythms from the South with popular music to make ragtime, jazz and swing.

This music held a hesitation before the last beat of four. That hesitation expressed the uncertainty and anguish of the post war world.

The hesitation is what makes this music sound different from classical music.

The best musicians like Woody Herman, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller were masters at manipulating this hesitation in the music.

Swing dances like Lindy-hop, Balboa and Shag were created to take advantage of the new music. These dances also broke taboos.

Psychology-Trying to find out how the brain works

Sigmund Freud—physician- He opened a window on the unconscious — where, he said, lust, rage and repression battle for supremacy — and changed the way we view ourselves- TIME Magazine

less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.

Philosophy- Trying to decide what we should think about next…

Existentialism- Humans must define their own Reality There is no universal meaning to

life. There is no one way to order or explain the universe

We must create our own meaning

We can never truly understand each other, because we are all too different. No two understandings are the same.

Historical Quotes- A glimpse at changing philosophy (what you think) and ideology (what you believe)

Get a piece of paper and a pen. Set it up like this:

Quote Philosophy Name

There are 8 quotes set out on tables in the room. With your partner, visit a quote, write it on your

paper and talk about what it means. You will have 3 minutes for each quote.

Make sure you have all the quotes on your paper…

“Meaning has to be sought out, there is no universal meaning to life. We create our own meaning through life choices and our actions. While there is no moral certainty, we do have agency in that we can make choices.”

“Love God, your neighbors, your enemies, and yourself. Every individual has worth and at the same time each individual has a responsibility to the whole community. You should live your life according to moral rules.”

“The realistic portrayal of life is not the purpose of art. Art should capture the inner world of emotion, feeling, and the workings of our imagination and unconscious mind.”

“Art should capture a realistic portrait of the world. It should show everyday people and the world around us.”

“The universe is governed by a specific set of laws. The universe was ordered by God the creator.”

“Much of human behavior is irrational and beyond reason. We are driven by that part of the mind that is unconscious and our unconscious pursues actions determined by our desires.”

“Every person has the gift of reason and as science uncovers more and more knowledge about the physical world, reason and knowledge will bring about progress. Truths can be revealed through observation and uncovering of evidence.”

“Time and space are not constant, perception is relative to one’s experiences, there are no absolute truths.”

Lost Generation Match Up…

I have put up a list of names for Philosophies and Ideologies from World history. These will include ideas from both before and after WWI.

Match the name of the philosophy or Ideology with the quote that represents it. Write the name of the philosophy next to the quote.

World War I dates- 1914-1919

Which of these philosophies happened before WWI? Which After? Set up your paper like this and write the philosophy name on the correct side:

Before WWI After WWI

Answer these questions on your paper: How would you characterize the two sides? Do you see a connection between the two sets? How would you characterize that connection?

Check your work…

Christianity—“Love God, your neighbors, your enemies, and yourself. Every individual has worth and at the same time each individual has a responsibility to the whole community. You should live your life according to moral rules.”

Enlightenment—“Every person has the gift of reason and as science uncovers more and more knowledge about the physical world, reason and knowledge will bring about progress. Truths can be revealed through observation and uncovering of evidence.”

Realism—“Art should capture a realistic portrait of the world. It should show everyday people and the world around us.”

Newtonian Law—“The universe is governed by a specific set of laws. The universe was ordered by God the creator.”

Existentialism—“Meaning has to be sought out, there is no universal meaning to life. We create our own meaning through life choices and our actions. While there is no moral certainty, we do have agency in that we can make choices.”

Freudian thought—“Much of human behavior is irrational and beyond reason. We are driven by that part of the mind that is unconscious and our unconscious pursues actions determined by our desires.”

Surrealism—“The realistic portrayal of life is not the purpose of art. Art should capture the inner world of emotion, feeling, and the workings of our imagination and unconscious mind.”

1. The Historical Background.a. The First World War tore up the slogan flags into pieces

that held high among common moralists.

b. Moreover, Russian Revolution stirred up the hatred towards the current social systems among the youth. No aspect of life in the Twenties has been commented upon and sensationally romanticized than the so-called Revolt of the Younger Generation.

c. The booming of American industry with its gigantic roaring

factories, its impersonality, and its large scale aggressiveness, no longer left any room for the code of polite behavior and well-bred morality fashioned in a quiet and less competitive age.

d. And it was during that period that a number of sensitive writers found that since there was little remedy for a country that was blind and deaf to everything save the glint and ring of the dollar, the only way out was to emigrate to Europe. There they began to think of themselves in the words of Gertrude Stein, as the “Lost Generation.”

2. The Overview of Literature.　　 a. The rise of the modern American literature　　 Although the form and ideas of modern American literature had clearly began to emerge in the first decade of the century, the First World War stands as a great dividing line between the 19th century and contemporary America. •Yet in the years between the two world wars American literature achieved a new diversity and reached its greatest heights. •The publication in 1922 of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, the most significant American power of the twentieth century, helped to establish a modern tradition of literature rich learning and all usive thought. •In 1920 Sinclair Lewis published his memorable

exit

denunciation of American small-town provincialism Main Street, and in the same year Theodore Dreiser began writing his masterpiece of naturalism, An American Tragedy, F. Scott Fitzgerald summarized the experiences and attitudes of the decade in his short stories and in his novel The Great Gatsby.

•Earnest Hemingway wrote The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Armes, and

•William Faulkner published one of the most influential American novels of the age, The Sun and the Fury. During the twenty years between the two world wars six American writers who did their best and most original work won the Nobel Price for literature. exit

b. Lost Generation of the Roaring Twenties War disfigures and tears away precious lives. Its horrors embed themselves like an infectious disease in the minds of the survivors, who, when left to salvage the pieces of their former existences, are brushed into obscurity by the individuals attempting to justify the annihilation of the world that was. •The era following World War I epitomizes the inheritance of tribulation and sorrow for the generation that remains to retrieve some form of happiness - the lost generation. •The Sun Also Rises will maintain a place in history not only for its literary merit, but also for its documentation of what writer Gertrude Stein called the "Lost Generation."

exit

•After WWI, many young Americans left their native country, bitter over the war and seeking adventure.

•A circle of artistic expatriates appeared-- among them Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, Ezra Pound, and Pablo Picasso. Hemingway and Fitzgerald employed their keen social observation in writing The Sun Also Rises and The Great Gatsby, respectively, widely considered the two masterpieces of Lost Generation fiction. exit

1. Lifea. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 and grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. From boyhood Fitzgerald experienced both the conflict and the fluidity of class in American life.b. His mother nurtured social ambition in her only son, and Fitzgerald was sent east to a Catholic prep school, and then to Princeton where he began career as a writer.c. Fitzgerald met and instantly fell in love with Zelda Sayre and married on April 3, 1920. Their life to a great extent epitomized what Fitzgerald had already called the Jazz Age. d. Fitzgerald first published The Great Gatsby on April 10, 1925, a story set in Long Island’s North Shore and New York City during the summer of 1922. e. Fitzgerald died on December 21, 1940, in Hollywood, in Graham's apartment, before the book The Last Tycoon was finished.

3. A brief introduction to his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is the best novel of Fitzgerald. As a novel with strong tragic flavor, it keeps in step with the time and its criticism of America society is really penetrating. The novel shows the disillusion of “American Dream” in the 1920s. At that age, it was impossible for Gatsby to succeed. The novel also shows that in the American society of 1920s, the commons were in total depravity. It tells us that there is no way to go from money to love, from material to spirit. In a split world, love could neither make up the split nor replace the value. It is full of realistic meaning even today.

exit

The clues of the novel are very clear, while the specific events are mysterious. In it, we can fully enjoy the glamour of art. In addition, the novel is intensely lyrical. With colorful musical elements, the author composed a tragic song, leaving a lot of questions for us to think about.

4. The Jazz Age What repeats frequently in the majority of his books describes the period from 1918-1929, the years between the end of World War I and the start of the Roaring Twenties; ending with the rise of the Great Depression, the traditional values of this age saw great decline while the American

exit

stock market soared. The focus of the elements of this age, in some contrast with the Roaring Twenties, in historical and cultural studies, are somewhat different, with a greater emphasis on all Modernism.The age takes its name from jazz music, which saw a tremendous surge in popularity among many segments of society. Among the prominent concerns and trends of the period are the public embrace of technological developments (typically seen as progress)—cars, air travel and the telephone—as well as new modernist trends in social behavior, the arts, and culture. Central developments included Art Deco design and architecture. In addition, many amateur artists began to aspire including Duke Ellington, Picasso, etc.

III. Ernest Hemingway 1. Life:

a. Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. b. Before the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. Serving at the front, he was wounded, was decorated by the Italian Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek Revolution.exit

c. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises (1926). Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929), the study of an American ambulance officer’s disillusionment in the war and his role as a deserter. Hemingway used his experiences as a reporter during the civil war in Spain as the background for his most ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). d. Among his later works, the most outstanding is the short novel, The Old Man and the Sea (1952), finally brought him onto the stage of the Nobel Prize in 1954.

Hemingway’s hero is an average man of decidedly masculine tastes, sensitive and intelligent, a man of action, and one of few words.
