The Political World of Bob Dylan

This work illuminates, identifies, and characterizes the influences and expressions of Bob Dylan's Political World throughout his life and career. An approach nearly as unique as the singer himself, the authors attempt to remove Dylan from the typical Left/Right paradigm and place him into a broader and deeper context.

Features the most comprehensive analysis of the ideas that comprise Dylan's political worldview Goes beyond traditional Dylan scholarship to focus equally on his life and work after the 1960's and 1970's Pays careful and respectful attention to the theological context of post-1978 Dylan
