商品简介 The Cambridge Companion to the Beats offers an in-depth overview of one of the most innovative and popular literary periods in America, the Beat era. The Beats were a literary and cultural phenomenon originating in New York City in the 1940s that reached worldwide significance. Although its most well-known figures are Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, the Beat movement radiates out to encompass a rich diversity of figures and texts that merit further study. Consummate innovators, the Beats had a profound effect not only on the direction of American literature, but also on models of socio-political critique that would become more widespread in the 1960s and beyond. Bringing together the most influential Beat scholars writing today, this Companion provides a comprehensive exploration of the Beat movement, asking critical questions about its associated figures and arguing for their importance to postwar American letters.《剑桥垮掉派指南》深入概述了美国*具创新性和*受欢迎的文学时期之一——垮掉派时代。 “垮掉的一代”是一种文学和文化现象,起源于 20 世纪 40 年代的纽约,后来在世界范围内产生了影响。尽管垮掉派运动中*著名的人物是杰克·凯鲁亚克、艾伦·金斯堡和威廉·S·巴勒斯,但垮掉派运动却涵盖了丰富多样的人物和文本,值得进一步研究。作为完美的创新者,“垮掉的一代”不仅对美国文学的方向产生了深远的影响,而且对 20 世纪 60 年代及以后变得更加普遍的社会政治批评模式也产生了深远的影响。这本书汇集了当今*有影响力的垮掉派学者的著作,对垮掉派运动进行了全面的探讨,提出了有关其相关人物的批判性问题,并论证了他们对战后美国文学的重要性。
