The Beats: A Very Short Introduction by David Sterritt
This book offers a concise overview of the social, cultural, and aesthetic sensibilities of the Beat Generation, explaining how their drastic visions and radical styles challenged postwar America's dominant values in ways that can still be felt in literature, cinema, music, theatre, and the visual arts.
"[Sterritt] offers a concise but illuminating commentary on the Beat movement.. an excellent overview" --Journal of American Culture
