Sincerely, The English Department Klapper 607 718-997-4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> ENG 305-01(38980) M/W 1:40pm-2:55pm, RA 112: Tytell Studies in Literature and Culture This course will focus on the Beat tradition. Many of the profound cultural antagonisms that so debilitate us now began after WWII and the Beats were like kindling for the fires that ensued. We will study major works of poetry and fiction by Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, while situating their work within a broader antecedent tradition that includes Whitman, Pound and Henry Miller with an emphasis on historical and political factors.
