American literature

Colson Whitehead: The Underground Railroad (2016)
The Beat movement was short-lived—starting and ending in the 1950s—but had a lasting influence on American poetry during the contemporary period. Allen Ginsberg’s Howl (1956) pushed aside the formal, largely traditional poetic conventions that had come to dominate American poetry. Raucous, profane, and deeply moving, Howl reset Americans’ expectations for poetry during the second half of the 20th century and beyond. Among the important poets of this period are
Anne Sexton
Sylvia Plath
John Berryman
Donald Hall
Elizabeth Bishop
James Merrill
Nikki Giovanni
Robert Pinsky
Adrienne Rich
Rita Dove
Yusef Komunyakaa
W.S. Merwin
Tracy K. Smith
In the early decades of the contemporary period, American drama was dominated by three men: Arthur MillerTennessee Williams, and Edward Albee. Miller’s Death of a Salesman (1949) questioned the American Dream through the destruction of its main character, while Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955) excavated his characters’ dreams and frustrations. Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) rendered what might have been a benign domestic situation into something vicious and cruel. By the 1970s the face of American drama had begun to change, and it continued to diversify into the 21st century. Notable dramatists include
David Mamet
Amiri Baraka
Sam Shepard
August Wilson
Ntozake Shange
Wendy Wasserstein
Tony Kushner
David Henry Hwang
Richard Greenberg
Suzan-Lori Parks
