Abstract: The History of English of American novel is undoubtedly very vast and interesting. My paper will attempt to cover the most important period of American literature that is 1920s and 1930s post World War 1st.

Novelists like Earnest Hemmingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, William Faulkner are some of the major names of the period. The most important thing about these authors was their shared conviction of them that it was possible for an American, writing directly out if American experience. Sense of dislocation was seen in America and it had a huge impact on American thought and development. The paper of mine will thoroughly discuss the period and some important writers.
