It has been fifty years since the Beats first came upon the literary scene and although the academy's hostility toward the Beats has not completely abated it has certainly diminished. Today mainstream publishers are adding many Beat titles to their lists and students of Beat literature can draw upon a wealth of critical resources that have been published in the last twenty years. The fourteen critical essays gathered in this collection verify that Jack Kerouac is still the undisputed king of the Beats followed by William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. At the same time however the Beat movement is shown to be broader and more far reaching than previously thought encompassing names such as Oscar Zeta Acosta and William Kotzwinkle and even suggesting influences on contemporary German literature in authors like Wolf Wondratschek Rolf Dieter Brinkman and Jörg Fauser.
