The Beat Generation was a group of authors whose literature explored and influenced American culture in the post-World War II era.
The bulk of their work was published and popularized throughout the 1950s. Central elements of Beat culture are rejection of standard narrative values, the spiritual quest, exploration of American and Eastern religions, rejection of materialism, explicit portrayals of the human condition, experimentation with psychedelic drugs, and sexual liberation and exploration.
Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959) and Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957) are among the best known examples of Beat literature. Both Howl and Naked Lunch were the focus of obscenity trials that ultimately helped to liberalize publishing in the United States. The members of the Beat Generation developed a reputation as new bohemian hedonists, who celebrated non-conformity and spontaneous creativity.
The core group of Beat Generation authors –Herbert Huncke, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Lucien Carr, and Jack Kerouac – met in 1944 in and around the Columbia University campus in New York City. Later, in the mid-1950s, the central figures (with the exception of Burroughs and Carr) ended up together in San Francisco where they met and became friends of figures associated with the San Francisco Renaissance.
The Beat Generation is a literary movement which came to prominence in the 1950s with books such as 'Naked Lunch' by William Burroughs and 'On The Road' by Jack Kerouac becoming classics of American literature. The movement was more about the life and characters which each of the writers experienced rather than the perfectly placed syntax. In this video I lay out the history of each of the main three of the movement ultimately culminating with the general philosophy of the beat's and how it can be taken on board for each persons life; whether it be in a big aspect or a simple bit of zest to your life.

The Beat Generation
"Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and a guy named Lucien Carr …they started visiting San Francisco and moved out there and they found that it was a perfectly sympathetic environment for them." Dennis McNally, author of “A Long Strange Trip,” describes opting for a more bohemian lifestyle and breaking away from the conformities of the 1950s. A group of writers known as “The Beats” sparked a cultural phenomenon.

The word Beat refers to the musical term beats. It is highly influenced by music and the ideas represented in the works of Beat Generation writers are associated with blissfulness. The writers and works that represent the movement were - Jack Kerouac, ‘On The Road' William Burrough, ‘Naked Lunch,’ Lawrence Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of Mind’, Allen Ginsberg, ‘Howl’. Inspired by jazz music, rejection of Materialism, and Zen poetry, Beat Generation became one of the important movements after World War II in English Literature.

Beat Generation - Kerouac & Ginsberg - New York 1959
This 5-minute film by Robert Frank was no doubt shot around the time Frank was working with Alfred Leslie on the Beat classic 'Pull My Daisy' featuring Jack Kerouac & Allen Ginsberg. In this short clip we see Lucien Carr & his wife Francesca & their three sons Simon, Caleb & Ethan as well as Mary Frank with her & Robert's children Pablo & Andrea. I put a live version of Dave Brubeck's 'Take Five' behind this Beat meet-&-greet at E 9th Street & 3rd Avenue because"Take Five' came out the same year, 1959, & it seems to go with the upbeat mood among all those kids & smiling Beats.
