One of the most famous moments of the Sixties - and one which continues to this day to be grossly misconstrued, mistold, and loaded with undeserved meaning - is the night in July of 1965 when Bob Dylan played an electric set (or at least tried to play an electric set) at the Newport Folk Festival: an event after which, supposedly, the culture of the Sixties was never quite the same again.
Even Dylan's most pre-eminent chronicler Sean Wilentz has mischaracterized this evening as the night when " Alan] Lomax along with Pete Seeger led the old guard that objected to the blasts of white-boy...

Understanding Kerouac's ON THE ROAD
ISBN: 9780615714677 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jack Kerouac's ON THE ROAD endures as a benchmark in postwar American Letters and an eternal rite of passage for youth.

How many, instead of encountering themselves in the novel as Kerouac intended, encounter only the ghosts of others: the "Beats" of Kerouac's era and imagination? In this penetrating consideration, Edward Renehan reveals Kerouac's main inspirations (and process) in creating ON THE ROAD, and considers the impact the book had on both the author and his times. Most importantly, he...
