Description

Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open initiative.

Greening Bohemia is the first book to connect diverse Beat Generation literature to environmental concerns. What is the connection between the Beat Generation and the environment? Using careful textual and rhetorical analysis and integrating ecocritical concepts and critical vocabulary, this study shows the Beats' varied environmental contributions. It challenges the boundaries of Beat literature by including sometimes marginal voices in the discussion. Greening Bohemia suggests that Beat writing contains deep insights into the human-nature relationship, critiques of consumerism, spiritual quests, and a vision for a more harmonious future human existence. The book places the Beat Generation in a larger ecological and cultural narrative, emphasizing its lasting impact and encouraging readers to reconsider its legacy. The study challenges the American ecocritical focus on nature writing and suggests that Beat-bohemian literature has environmental potential and traces cultural change to the present day. This study thus expands our understanding by re-examining well-known and neglected Beat Generation texts and promoting ecocritical responses to art. It highlights the enduring significance of the Beat Generation, and it encourages readers to reevaluate its legacy, considering contemporary attention to environmental concerns. In short, Greening Bohemia clarifies ways Beat texts connect to the most extraordinary defining problem of our age.
