Abstract "The Poetry of Bob Dylan brings together leading literary, music, and cultural critics to analyze the lyrics to thirty different songs by Bob Dylan. An innovative resource for Dylan scholars, this book as a whole explicates how and why-and from a wide variety of perspectives-the work of the 2016 Nobel Literature Laureate is in fact so literary. By focusing first and foremost on the lyrics as poetry, rather than on the music or on Dylan's cultural status, this collection models a range of ways to better understand his songs as literary phenomena. The text brings together varied approaches and analyses under one roof and illuminates how and why Bob Dylan is a central figure in the history of American poetry"-- Provided by publisher.
