Generally speaking, the artists and writers of the Lost Generation were highly praised for

their insightfulness and astute social commentary. How can we reconcile this with the

support such individuals as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein lent to so ruthless and

inhumane a dictator as Adolf Hitler?

Answer 1

Answer:

We can reinforce that these writers had an admirable mastery of words, in addition to a strong artistic sense, even though their social positions are controversial today.

Explanation:

As we know, Pound and Stein had a strong anti-Americanism, pointing to Samerican positions that were damaging society in a progressive and influential way. This can promote these writers as great social advocates, who have positioned themselves without fear, through their artistic skills. However, we must not forget that both present very controversial ideas, mainly in relation to fascism and blind support for Hitler, which we know was not beneficial.
