Comments
The Beat Generation – also known as the Beat movement – tried to revolutionize American literature in the 1950s. They expressed their rebellion against conventional society through their dress, language, and behavior, which included the use of drugs and progressive sexual attitudes. In this seminar, the emphasis will be on poetry, but some influential prose writings should also be included. Students are welcome to voice their own interests and pursue different aspects.
The following anthology will form the basis of our discussions:
