R212: You Can't Beat Beat: The Literature and Lifestyle of the Beat Generation in Splash Spring 2011 (Mar. 27, 2011)
This course will examine the literature and poetry of the Beat Generation, an American literary movement during the 1950s composed of writers who reacted against the excesses and staid conformity of U.S. society during that time. We will briefly survey the works of such luminaries as Jack Kerouac (of "On the Road" fame), William S. Burroughs, Gary Snyder, and Allen Ginsberg and discuss their conception of the United States as a "free" nation and their ideas about life and the pursuit of happiness. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a poetry slam and showcase their spontaneous creative writing skills in true "Beat" fashion!
