What's this "Bohemian" stuff? The post-Gold Rush years unleashed a literary movement that figured prominently in cultural development north of the Golden Gate . The journalists, poets, and novelists loosely identified as bohemians preferred art, literature, and political discourse to the aggressive material culture of their day. Successor movements with bohemian flavor-Environmentalism, the Beat generation, the hippie movement, the sexual revolution, California cuisine, hip cyberculture- Were similarly catalyzed by their synergy with this area.
