Although important events often reflect themselves quickly in literature of a country, the effect of World War I on American writing was delayed. The war promptly produced some mediocre prose and poetry, but distinguished work -- mainly in the form of novels appeared only some years later. The best came from Ernest Hemingway. He had already written some very good short stories and one first-class novel, The Sun Also Rises. But he did not publish a novel fully involved with the war until 1929. It proved worth waiting for.
The onset of the Great Depression, on the other hand, was rapidly mirrored in American literature, especially in novels, and during the ten years after the Depression started, much writing dealt with it. One of the best of these novels was John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. But the arrival of the Depression little affected Hemingway’s attitudes. During the 1930s, he continued to publish novels and short stories. They dealt with a variety of subjects but customarily revealed his high view of courage. The brave did not always survive in his fiction but they lived their lives to the fullest. It was not until the late 1930s that reference to the Depression crept into Hemingway’s writing and, even then, its influence was indirect.
