Bob Dylan is an iconic American artist, whose music and
performances have long reflected different musical genres and time
periods. His songs tell tales of the Civil War, harken back to
1930s labor struggles, and address racial violence at the height of
the civil rights movement, helping listeners to think about
history, and history making, in new ways. While Dylan was warned by
his early mentor, Dave Van Ronk, that, "You're just going to be a
history book writer if you do those things. An anachronism," the
musician has continued to traffic in history and engage with a
range of source material-ancient and modern-over the course of his
career.In this beautifully crafted book, Freddy Cristobal Dominguez
makes a provocative case for Dylan as a historian, offering a deep
consideration of the musician's historical influences and
practices. Drawing on interviews, speeches, and the close analysis
of lyrics and live performances, Bob Dylan in the Attic is the
first book to consider Dylan's work from the point of view of
historiography.
