Sex, death and nostalgia are among the impulses driving Beatles
fandom: the metaphorical death of the Beatles after their break-up
in 1970 has fueled the progressive nostalgia of fan conventions for
48 years; the death of John Lennon and George Harrison has added
pathos and drama to the Beatles' story; Beatles Monthly predicated
on the Beatles' good looks and the letters page was a forum for
euphemistically expressed sexuality. The Beatles and Fandom is the
first book to discuss these fan subcultures. It combines academic
theory on fandom with compelling original research material to tell
an alternative history of the Beatles phenomenon: a fans' history
of the Beatles that runs concurrently with the popular story we all
know.
