20th-+Lost+Generation

The [|Lost Generation] was a counterculture movement of American writers between the first and second World Wars who sought a more diversified culture that they felt America lacked. These writers rebelled against the homogenous "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" culture prevalent in American society by moving to major European cities and writing in new styles apart from traditional Victorian literature. Adherants to this movement included such notable writers as T.S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.
