With the end of World War One came a generation of writers who grew up and grew disillusioned with war. Ernest Hemingway is credited with the first use of the term in the epigraph to his book, "The Sun Also Rises". The term is used to many of the writers prominently read in schools today. Among the Lost Generation writers are F. Scott Fitzgerald, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, John Steinbeck, and E. E. Cummings. Amid the Roaring Twenties in the United States, the tones of these authors provided a stark contrast. Common themes of Lost Generation writers included the frivolous lifestyle of the rich, the death of the American dream and the creation of an idealized past. Finally, there was one writer came out of World War One, not hopeless and disillusioned, but inspired and visionary. This was J. R. R. Tolkien, writer of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings".
