Writers in Paris in the 1920s
edit“Writers in Paris in the 1920s” is a topic that introduce the writers in a selected city for a specific period of time.
On one hand, Paris, one and the most prominent city in Europe, is known as the capital of culture and the home for many famous novelists, poets, and dramatists from both domestic and expatriate. On the other hand, the 1920s, ten years shortly after the First World War, is also called the “Roaring Twenties” in Western society and “crazy years” in France. During that time, the social dynamic, economic development, and technological innovation, finally resulted in a great cultural prosperity.
Under such circumstance, the cultural centre and the golden age, together created a free and superior environment that attracted several notable authors to settle down in Paris and write out outstanding literatures, which influences the following generations.
