ENGL 495: American Bohemianism: the Beats in Context

The Vault at Pfaff's recaptures the spirit of Whitman's antebellum "trysting-place" by bringing together the art and literature of the United States' first self-described bohemians, including digital editions of the three periodicals many of them regularly contributed to: The New York Saturday Press, Vanity Fair, and The New York Leader.

Beatdom Literary Journal is an annual journal dedicated to the work of the Beat Generation. Each issue of Beatdom tackles a topic – such as religion or politics – and explores the Beat Generation through that particular lens.
