Title: The long and winding road from Blake to the Beatles
First published: 2008
Description: "The story of the Beatles begins not with the rock-'n'-roll revolution of the 1950s, but in the Romantic revolution of the 1790s, when age-old notions about literature, politics, education, and social relations changed forever. Tracing the Beatles to their late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century poetic, musical, and philosophic roots, The Long and Winding Road from Blake to the Beatles weaves literary criticism and cultural analysis together to how the Fab Four - in their songs, personalities, and relations with each other - mirror the themes and history of Anglo-American Romanticism."--Jacket.
