Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation : A Reading of the Lyrics 1965-1967
- New York Bloomsbury Academic 2017
Many critics have interpreted Bob Dylan's 2019;s lyrics, especially those composed during the middle to late 1960s, in the contexts of their relation to American folk, blues, and rock 's 2018;n's 2019; roll precedents; their discographical details and concert performances; their social, political and cultural relevance; and/or their status for discussion as poems. Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation instead focuses on how all of Dylan's 2019;s 1965-1967 songs manifest traces of his ongoing, internal autobiography in which he continually declares and questions his relation to a self-determined existential summons.
