history of the "Beat Generation"

The Beat Generation was a group of countercultural American writers who came to prominence in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957), Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), and William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959) are considered their most important works.
