Beat generation
The Beat Generation is a term used to describe both a group of American
writers who came to prominence in the late
1950s and early
1960s, and the cultural phenomena that they wrote about and inspired (later sometimes called beatniks though this is considered by many to be a pejorative term).The major works of Beat writing are
Allen Ginsberg's
Howl (1956), and
William S. Burroughs'
Naked Lunch (1959) and
Jack Kerouac's
On the Road (1957). Both Howl and Naked Lunch were the focus of obscenity trials that ultimately helped to liberalize what could be published in the United States. On the Road transformed Kerouac's friend
Neal Cassady into a youth-culture hero.
