 | | Joan Vollmer (later, Joan Vollmer Adams Burroughs) was clearly there at the beginning of the Beat Generation, and all accounts describe her as a very intelligent and interesting woman. | | | Lawrence Ferlinghetti has referred to him as 'the Thoreau of the Beat Generation". | | | The full historical background arguably includes Henry David Thoreau, Imagism (especially Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams and H.D.), the Objectivists and Henry Miller. |

| | This Is The Beat Generation |
| | Though it is certainly a generation of extremes, including both the hipster and the radical young Republican in its ranks, it renders unto Caesar (i.e, society) what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. | | | As such, it is a disturbing illustration of Voltaire's reliable old joke: 'If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him.' Not content to bemoan his absence, they are busily and haphazardly inventing totems for him on all sides. | | | In saying this, I don't mean to 'flame' John Clellon Holmes, a good writer who recognized the inanity of labelling a generation and even alluded to it in this article. |

| | "Beat Generation" is a term referring to a heterogeneous mix of young people, artists and intellectuals of the 1950s (and later) whose unconventional work and lifestyle reflected profound disaffection with contemporary society. | | | The early beat historiography portrayed women as mere accessories. | | | Herbert Huncke and the Beginnings of Beat Literature |

| | The Beat Generation |
| | This is the Danish pathway to the Beat Generation that would seem to be having a renaissance - or perhaps a resurrection in the 1990s. | | | But the most important parts have to be the spontaneous prose and the Beat books, which you can read about on these pages by following links, some of which will include literary extracts. | | | If you want coherent passages there is no beating reading the books. |

| | Each generation, the great Latin poets came from farther and farther from Rome. | | | Social disengagement, artistic integrity, voluntary poverty — these are powerful virtues and may pull them through, but they are not the virtues we tried to inculcate — rather they are the exact opposite. | | | As for Williams, more and more people, even some of the Reactionary Generation, have come to think of him as our greatest living poet. |
