Ernest hemingway the writer of the lost generation course work

CONCLUSION 
Lost Generation as a movement started by expatriate artists andwriters 
accomplished its prime in reflecting their individual experienceof life which was 
influenced by remarkable events like war andtechnological advances. This 
movement was also very important in the emergence of modernism and its 
branches and as American modernists, writers of this group tried to find new 
approaches to report different contexts of modern life. Gertrude Stein and her 
salon was the first modern gallery which hosted other talented writers on 
Saturday nights to talk about the change they were about to make. World War I is 
probably the most important occurrence in those years, which engendered a 
new perspective on life and accelerated the process of changing.With significant
consequences for our 
subsequent understanding of modernist literature, it 
was in this postwar period that the canon of modernist literature was also 
established, as part of the drive to assert a U.S. cultural presence on the 
international stage commensurate with its geopolitical might (Hemingway, 1964: 
22).The phrase as mentioned in Hemingway’s (1964) book depicted this 
generation as a doomed youth, entangled with hedonism, unbending 
creativity, and wounded by the experience of war. These virtues and vices are 
recognizable in the life story of every member of the lost generation to varying 
degrees, regardless of their bohemian and wild lifestyles, the range, creativity, 
and influence of works produced by this community of American expatriates 
in Paris is remarkable. The themes are mostly life and death, wounds of 
war,dissatisfaction, and tragic love affair and the novels and the poemswritten 
by Lost Generation authors benefited from modern techniquesof writing like 
dialog in Hemingway’s (1964) works or Fitzgerald’sspecial diction to describe 
scenes and Eliot’s fragmentation technique. In the following chapters the 
lives, works, writing styles and contributions of the selected writers will be 
discussed and the elements of looseness and the mentioned themes will be 
evaluated in selected works of them.
