Abstract
The article focuses on the Beat Generation, a literary movement characterized by its rebellious spirit and distinctive style that emerged in the post-World War II era. Key figures such as Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and John Clellon Holmes challenged conventional literary norms, often addressing themes of drugs, sex, and existentialism. The movement gained significant attention with the publication of Ginsberg's poem "Howl," which faced censorship and legal challenges for its explicit content. Ultimately, a California court ruled in favor of Ginsberg and the poem, recognizing its social importance despite its controversial language. [Extracted from the article]
