A career-spanning account of the artistry and politics of Bob
Dylan's songwriting Bob Dylan's reception of the 2016 Nobel Prize
for Literature has elevated him beyond the world of popular music,
establishing him as a major modern artist. However, until now, no
study of his career has focused on the details and nuances of the
songs, showing how they work as artistic statements designed to
create meaning and elicit emotion. Bob Dylan: How the Songs Work
(originally published as Bob Dylan's Poetics) is the first
comprehensive book on both the poetics and politics of Dylan's
compositions. It studies Dylan, not as a pop hero, but as an
artist, as a maker of songs. Focusing on the interplay of music and
lyric, it 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, up to his densely allusive recent recordings,
Timothy Hampton offers a detailed account of Dylan's achievement.
Locating Dylan in the long history of artistic modernism, the book
studies the relationship between form, genre, and the political and
social themes that crisscross Dylan's work. Bob Dylan: How the
Songs Work offers both a nuanced engagement with the work of a
major artist and a meditation on the contribution of song at times
of political and social change.
