The Beatles in Perspective : A Carnival of Light Paperback / softback

Edited by James McGrath, Peter Mills

Part of the Studies in Popular Music series

Paperback / softback

Description

The Beatles' lives and work continue to delight fans and influence musicians half a century since their heyday.

Yet their contribution to contemporary culture and their relationship to social change remain controversial topics in need of reappraisal.

This collection brings together fourteen leading scholars of The Beatles to examine their origins, output and legacy. Interdisciplinary in its approach and international is its outlook, The Beatles in Perspective showcases the latest research by historians, literary critics, musicologists, sociologists, poets and cultural critics bringing new perspectives on The Beatles and their milieu which will interest academics and fans alike. This book explores the relationship between The Beatles and their times, situating them in the changing class, gender and ethnic dynamics of postwar Britain, and considers them as Liverpudlians, Orientalists, and creative pioneers.
