Riassunto
Questa tesi esplora il lavoro di Allen Ginsberg, concentrandosi in particolare sulla sua opera più celebre, "Howl", diventata emblema della Beat Generation. Questo movimento, guidato da figure come Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg e William S. Burroughs, si proponeva di rompere con le convenzioni sociali e culturali, promuovendo la spontaneità e la libertà individuale. Nonostante la loro apparente ribellione contro le norme letterarie tradizionali, la tesi dimostra come le radici dei Beats, ed in particolare quelle di Allen Ginsberg, siano profondamente immerse in una ricca tradizione letteraria e filosofica che ha preparato il terreno per la loro espressione artistica. L'autore ha infatti attraversato un percorso trasformativo ispirato da vari autori, come William Blake, William Carlos Williams, Walt Whitman e Jack Kerouac, che hanno plasmato il suo stile nel corso della sua carriera. Inoltre, la sua identità spirituale, così come la cultura e il contesto storico in cui Ginsberg è inserito, sono cruciali per comprendere la sua poetica. "Howl" non solo è l'opera che ha portato Ginsberg al successo, ma rappresenta anche il raggiungimento della maturità di questo sviluppo letterario. Attraverso un'analisi dettagliata di "Howl" e di alcune delle opere più significative dell'autore, la tesi cerca di comprendere come queste influenze abbiano contribuito a modellare la sua innovativa voce letteraria.

Additionally, understanding Ginsberg's spiritual identity and the contemporary culture and historical context he inhabited is crucial to figure his poetry out. "Howl" not only brought Ginsberg success but also represents the maturity of his literary development. Through a detailed analysis of "Howl" and some of the author's most significant works, the thesis seeks to understand how these influences contributed to shaping his innovative literary voice.
