Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in June 2016,
and seldom in recent years has it been more richly deserved. That a
song writer's lyrics should be regarded as literature was an idea
at which many were surprised. Others have felt that to isolate the
lyrics of a song from its musical context is unreal. Ultimately
that is true: a song is an indefeasible whole, an inseparable
marriage of words and music which achieves its overall emotional
effect by that symbiosis and not otherwise. Yet it can also be said
that the two components can be separately considered as two
elements in the artist's creative utterance, and discussed as such.
The evidence of Dylan's manuscripts supports the view that in
writing his lyrics his way of going about things is not always
widely different from that of a poet. Bob Dylan commented on the
Nobel Prize in Literature which was awarded to him "for having
created new poetic expressions within the great American song
tradition": "When I first received this Nobel Prize for Literature,
I got to wondering exactly how my songs related to literature. I
wanted to reflect on it and see where the connection was." Voice
Without Restraint, refers to and is from the song "I dreamed I saw
St Augustine" on John Wesley Harding, and is a phrase chosen to
evoke the full-blooded commitment to his artistic utterance which
is the hallmark of Bob Dylan's voice - in all senses.
John Herdman's masterpiece of the modern Scottish Gothic appears in
print from Leamington Books' imprint Gothic World Literature
Editions, with a new introduction from the author. Black humour and
even blacker lives collide in a tale of love and murder on an old
Borders family estate. In a grotesque story told from two
contrasting angles we meet the arrogant genius, Frank, and his
hated brother Hubert. Raw and immoral, Imelda is a puzzle, mocking
the reader in its quest for answers. Murder and madness this way
lie but who if anyone is to be believed in unpicking the deadly
secrets behind the birth of cousin Imelda's child? An assured
masterpiece from Scotland's greatest living chronicler of the dark
side, Imelda, first published in 1993 became an instant classic of
Scottish letters.
