Jennifer Joe, WKU Owensboro Campus Librarian, will present The Sociology of the Lost Generation: How Societal Factors Impacted the Creative Works of Ernest Hemingway and His Contemporaries at 7 p.m. Thursday (Aug. 31) at WKU Owensboro, 4821 New Hartford Road.

 

The "Lost Generation" was a term coined for the cohort that came of age during World War I. More specifically, though, it has been applied to writers and artists from that period - those writers such as Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot and F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose experiences deeply impacted their writing. Speaking from the sociological point of view, Joe will talk about how greater trends in culture and society during this tumultuous time ultimately shaped the most famous works of literature from this generation, and how these connections can be applied to our modern lives.
