Ernest Hemingway
Lost Generation
A group of American writers who came of age during World War I and established their literary reputations in the 1920s in Paris. The most famous members were Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and T. S. Eliot. The term is also used more generally to refer to the post-World War I generation. Gertrude Stein is credited with coining the term, and it was subsequently popularised by Hemingway who used it in his 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises”.
