Lost Generation - Ushinawareta Sedai (English spelling)

Japanese: 失われた世代 - うしなわれたせだい(英語表記)Lost Generation
Lost Generation - Ushinawareta Sedai (English spelling)
The term refers to a group of American writers who emerged during World War I and established their fame in the 1920s. G. Stein coined the term in derision for young Americans who, disillusioned with postwar society, rebelling against established values, and feeling disconnected from tradition, abandoned their home countries to live in Paris and other places, indulging in rebellious hedonism. Their lives are succinctly depicted in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (1926). Hemingway, FS Fitzgerald, Dos Passos, and E.E. Cummings are considered to be representative figures of this group.

第1次世界大戦中に登場し,1920年代に名声を確立した一群のアメリカ作家たちをいう。戦後社会への幻滅,既成の価値観への反発,伝統との断絶を感じ,母国を捨ててパリなどに住み,反抗的な享楽主義にふけっていたアメリカ青年たちを揶揄して,G.スタインがそう呼んだことによる。彼らの生活はヘミングウェーの『日はまた昇る』 (1926) に端的に描き出されている。ヘミングウェー,F.S.フィッツジェラルド,ドス・パソス,E.E.カミングズらがその代表的存在とみなされる。
