More than six decades since, work of the Beat Poets conjures images of unconventionality, defiance, and a changing consciousness that permeated the 1950s and 60s. In recent years, the key texts of Beat authors such as Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac have been appropriated for a new generation in feature-length films, graphic novels, and other media. In Adapting the Beat Poets: Burroughs, Ginsberg, and Kerouc on Screen, Michael J. Prince examines how works by these authors have been translated to film. Looking primarily at three key works - Burroughs' Naked Lunch, Ginsberg's Howl, and Kerouac's On the Road - Prince considers how Beat literature has been significantly altered by the unintended intrusion of irony or other inflections. Prince also explores how these screen adaptations offer evidence of a growing cultural thirst for authenticity, even as mediated in postmodern works. Additional works discussed in this volume include The Subterraneans, Towers Open Fire, The Junky's Christmas, and Big Sur. By examining the screen versions of the Beat triumvirate's creations, this volume questions the ways in which their original works serve as artistic anchors and whether these films honor the authentic intent of the authors. Adapting the Beat Poets is a valuable resource for anyone studying the beat generation, including scholars of literature, film, and American history. 600 10 $a Burroughs, William S., $d 1914-1997 $v Film adaptations. 600 10 $a Ginsberg, Allen, $d 1926-1997 $v Film adaptations. 600 10 $a Kerouac, Jack, $d 1922-1969 $v Film adaptations. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Beat generation. 650 0 $a American literature $v Film adaptations. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Prince, Michael J., 1958- $t Adapting the beat poets. $d Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2016] $z 9781442273252 $w (OCoLC)953525509 $w (OCoLC)953525509 830 0 $a Film and history (Lanham, Md.) 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011703.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010010802.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907011018.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D8322CE774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
