Spanning 40 years, The Beatles Literary Anthology compiles accounts
of the Beatles by mainstream reporters, rock journalists, cultural
commentators, acquaintances, and friends, including Greil Marcus
and Geroge Melly. This extensive collection recounts the groups
rise from the Merseybeat music scene; the British invasion that
made them icons in the U.S.; their experimentation with song
structure and sound-recording technique that redefined pop music;
their embracing of psychedelic drugs and pacifism; and the separate
paths band members followed after their acrimonious breakup. The
Beatles influence on the baby boom generation is also acknowledged
in essays by writers on both sides of the pop-culture divide.
Conveying the excitement of youth culture during the great social
changes of the 1960s, the writers underscore the extremes of a
career virtually unparalleled in mass-media history.
