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.
