BOB DYLAN E IL MITO

     This book, which features contributions from leading Bob Dylan specialists such as Timothy Hampton and Alessandro Carrera, with the editorial care of three researchers, explores an aspect of Dylan's work that is little known to the general public: the presence of mythologies in the literary and musical imagery that Dylan conveys in his songs.
     Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquity, the Bible, troubadour poetry, Shakespearean tragedies, Celtic traditions, the Wild West, Delta blues, Depression-era hobos, Irish folk and Appalachia, and rock itself, which becomes the mythological material of Murder Must Foul: nothing escapes Dylan’s rewritings, from ancient mythologies to modern folk epics.

Edited by Matthew Graves, Pierluigi Lanfranchi and Claudio Milanesi, Arcana 2024, 320 pages, paperback.
