Summary/Abstract: The Beat Generation is deeply rooted in the message of the American Transcendentalists. Therefore, tradition is present in a subtle way even in the literary-artistic movements. Counterculture is not similar to underculture – and therefore it is quite natural for it to include a tradition which clearly moves away from the mainstream.
