What is the "Beat Generation"?
The Beat Generation was a literary movement that began in the 1950s in the United States. It was characterized by its rejection of traditional standards and its exploration of new forms of expression. Main figures like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs used unplanned, natural, and often unusual styles to express their dissatisfaction with common society. They explored themes such as personal freedom, spirituality, and the search for meaning. The Beat Generation aimed to convey the honest and straightforward experience of life, challenging standard rules and influencing later cultural and artistic movements.
