Item description from seller

Hardcover. The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed overnight when Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, challenging us to think of him as an integral part of our national and international literary heritage. No One to Meet: Imitation and Originality in the Songs of Bob Dylan places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition. In lucid prose, Raphael Falco demonstrates the similarity between what Renaissance writers called imitatio and the way Dylan borrows, digests, and transforms traditional songs. Although Dylans lyrical postures might suggest a post-Romantic, avant-garde consciousness, No One to Meet shows that Dylans creative process borrows from and creatively expands the methods used by classical and Renaissance authors. Drawing on numerous examples, including Dylans previously unseen manuscript excerpts and archival materials, Raphael Falco illuminates how the ancient process of poetic imitation, handed down from Greco-Roman antiquity, allows us to make sense of Dylans musical and lyrical technique. By placing Dylan firmly in the context of an age-old poetic practice, No One to Meet deepens our appreciation of Dylans songs and allows us to celebrate him as what he truly is: a great writer. The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed when Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. This book places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition.
