The question states: "Howl", by           is considered to be one of the principal works of the Beat generation. AL87

Because the answer options are not provided in the input, we cannot compare alternative authors. However, we can explain why the named author in the provided answer is correct.

Allen Ginsberg is widely recognized as one of the leading figures of the Beat Generation. He co-founded and helped define the Beat movement in the 1950s through a combination of raw, confessional poetry, social critique, and a rejection of mainstream American culture. Howl, published in 1956, is his most famous poem and is often cited as a defining work of Beat literature. Its frank language, exploration of taboo subjects, and critique of materialism and conformity resonate with Beat ideals, making it a principal work associated with the movement.

If options had included other names commonly linked to Beat poetry (such as Jack Kerouac or William S. Burroughs), you would want to compare: does the work belong to their known oeuvre, does it align with Beat themes, and is the work frequently cited as emblematic of Beat literature? In this case, the claim that Howl is a principal Beat work is most strongly supported by Allen Ginsberg’s authorship and the poem’s historical impact within Beat studies.

Note: Without the other candidate options, we cannot address why those alternatives would be incorrect. If you provide the full list of answer choices, I can break down each option and explain why Allen Ginsberg is correct and why the others are not.
