【正确答案】正确答案：The Beat Generation referred to a loose-knit group of poets and novelists, writing in the second half of the 1950s and early 1960s. They shared a set of social attitudes—anti-establishment, anti-political, anti-intellectual, opposed to the prevailing cultural, literary, and moral values, and in favor of unfettered self-realization and self-expression. The most famous literary creations produced by this group should be Allen Ginsberg"s long poem Howl and Jack Kerouac"s On the Road.
