BOB DYLAN'S POETICS Focusing on the interplay of music and lyric, Hampton traces Dylan's innovative use of musical form, his complex manipulation of poetic diction, and his dialogues with other artists, from Woody Guthrie to Arthur Rimbaud. Moving from Dylan's earliest experiments with the blues through his mastery of rock and country to his densely allusive more recent recordings, Hampton offers a detailed account of Dylan's achievement.
Note: A change was made in 2020, when the more commercial subtitle 'HOW THE SONGS WORK' became the title, and 'BOB DYLAN'S POETICS' removed from the front cover of the paperback edition.
