In Search of Heresy: American Literature in an Age of Conformity is a book written by John Watson Aldridge. The book explores the literary scene in America during the 1950s and 1960s, a time when conformity was seen as the norm and any deviation from it was considered heretical. The author examines the works of several writers who challenged the status quo and dared to question the prevailing beliefs of their time. The book focuses on the works of writers such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Norman Mailer, among others, who were part of the Beat Generation and the counterculture movement. Aldridge argues that these writers not only challenged the dominant cultural norms but also paved the way for a new literary tradition that would go on to influence generations to come. The book is a fascinating exploration of American literature during a tumultuous period in the country's history and is a must-read for anyone interested in the literary and cultural history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
