The "lost generation" refers to the generations of Western young adults following World War I, as reflected in the works of the major writers of the period, including John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. The events surrounding the Great war war led to much disillusionment. In Great Britain, many promising young lives were lost as casualties.

The term "lost" is also a metaphor for the questioning of the principles of their parents' generation. The lack of certainty, direction, and purpose led many to search for deeper meanings and truths (as had happened in several other periods of human society).
