Writers of the Lost Generation

In literature, the "Lost Generation" usually refers to the group of English-language (mostly American) writers born between 1881 and 1900, many of whom have, at one point or another, lived in Paris as expats.

The origins of the name are somewhat unclear, but it was popularized by Ernest Hemingway and is usually credited to Gertrude Stein. This cohort includes people born from the early 1880s through 1900 who 'came of age' during the First World War.
