Abstract [en]

The Lost Generation includes some of the most well-known authors within American literature, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway and T.S Elliot. The moniker refers to authors who came of age during, or shortly after, the Great War. Their literature and poetry dealt with the break their generation experienced with the world of their parents, and the new way of life they experienced during a time of radical changes within society.

The Lost Generation Corpus, at its core, is a project focused on setting up the resources for future research on the Lost Generation. The project collects, prepares, and saves the output of the authors in a computer-searchable text collection, a corpus, which allows materials to be sorted according to authorship, time of publication and text type. This dataset can then be explored with the myriad of tools available to us through corpus linguistics, allowing for insights into how the literary styles of the authors developed and changed throughout their careers.
