Description
The San Francisco Renaissance is the first overview of this major American literary movement.
Michael Davidson recounts its emergence during the postwar period in the San Francisco Bay area as defined by poets such as Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Duncan and William Everson, and then as it blossomed into the literary excitements associated with the Beat movement and with writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.
Individual chapters are devoted to major writers of the period and to their involvement with social and political change during the Cold War era.
Davidson's penultimate chapter deals with the largely neglected context of women writers during this period, and the final chapter deals with poetry since 1965.
