The Beats: A Very Short Introduction

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the writers of the Beat Generation revolutionized American literature with their iconoclastic approach to language and their angry assault on the conformity and conservatism of postwar society.

Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959). In this Very Short Introduction, David Sterritt offers a concise overview of...
