Description

Bob Dylan's abrupt abandonment of overtly political song writing in the mid-1960s caused an uproar among critics and fans. In Wicked Messenger, acclaimed cultural-political commentator Mike Marqusee advances the new thesis that Dylan did not drop politics from his songs but changed the manner of his critique to address the changing political and cultural climate and, more importantly, his own evolving aesthetic. Dylan's anguished, self-obsessed, prickly artistic evolution, Marqusee asserts, was a deeply creative response to a deeply disturbing situation.

Author Biography:

Mike Marqusee is the author of numerous groundbreaking books on politics and popular culture, including Anyone But England, War Minus the Shooting and Redemption Song. Born and raised in the US, he has lived in London since the 1970s. He currently lives in Stoke Newington.
