The Long and Winding Road from Blake to the Beatles (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781403984890)

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.
