Description

 							"Among those who write regularly about Dylan, Wilentz possesses the rare virtues of modesty, nuance, and
lucidity, and for that he should be celebrated and treasured....Wilentz is very, very good on the actual music. In fact,
the centerpiece of his book is a vivid look at the 'Blonde on Blonde' sessions, during which the musicians teased and
groped their way toward the album's 'thin, wild mercury sound,' in Dylan's famous description."—Bruce Handy in
The New York Times Book Review
  
  _"In this often revelatory new study, Wilentz locates Dylan's work in
the context of some surprising influences....The greatest gift for Dylan fans, however, is Wilentz's detailed account of
the making of 1966's 'Blonde on Blonde'....Unless Dylan himself writes about it in the fabled Chronicles: Volume Two,
this is the definitive word on the creation of his greatest album."—Andy Green in Rolling Stone
  
  "_Bob Dylan in America,_ a new biography of the singer-songwriter by distinguished cultural [and] political
historian Sean Wilentz, gives an enjoyably thorough, convincing explanation of why Dylan's new music has gone on finding
new audiences ever since he burst upon the New York folk scene of the early 1960s, fresh from the iron range of northern
Minnesorta and ferociously ambitious for his art. It's an extraordinary, resonant intersection of subject and
biographer....Where Wilentz excels is in teasing out the origins of Dylan's artistic impulses, the context in which they
arose and flowered, the multiple sources of his art."—Tim Rutten in The Los Angeles Times
  
 
"Another book about Bob Dylan! Is there any more to be said? The answer is, of course, yes, and who better to say it
than Sean Wilentz, a Princeton professor of American history?...What this book finally does -- this is me, not Wilentz
-- is establish Dylan as the 20th century's Walt Whitman. Like Whitman he sings the songs of America in the conviction
that they can be said in no other way. And, like Whitman, he commits himself to travelling the roads of America, looking
and remembering. From the shelves full of Dylan books this and one other -- Christopher Ricks's Dylan's Visions of Sin
-- are the ones to read. This is also one to look at: the pictures are cunningly well chosen."—Bryan Appleyard
in The Sunday Times (UK)
  _
  "Like many a quirkily brilliant music critic...Mr. Wilentz chooses pet
aspects of his subject's career and then invests them with the requisite importance....Mr. Wilentz's vast knowledge of
Dylan performances touchingly conveys his nearly lifelong reverence for his subject."—Janet Maslin in The New
York Times
  
  ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BOB DYLAN IN AMERICA
  
  "A panoramic vision of Bob
Dylan, his music, his shifting place in American culture, from multiple angles. In fact, reading Sean Wilentz’
Bob Dylan in America is as thrilling and surprising as listening to a great Dylan song."
  —Martin
Scorsese
  
  "All the American connections that Wilentz draws to explain the appearance of Dylan’s
music are fascinating, particularly at the outset the connection to Aaron Copland. The writing is strong, the thinking
is strong – the book is dense and strong everywhere you look."
  —Philip Roth
  
 
"Unlike so many Dylan-writer-wannabes and phony ‘encyclopedia’ compilers, Sean Wilentz makes me feel he was
in the room when he chronicles events that I participated in. Finally a breath of fresh words founded in hardcore,
intelligent research."
  —Al Kooper
  
  "This should have been impossible. Writing about
Bob Dylan's music, and fitting it into the great crazy quilt of American culture, Sean Wilentz sews a whole new critical
fabric, part history, part close analysis, and all heart. What he writes, as well as anyone ever has, helps us enlarge
Dylan's music by reckoning its roots, its influences, its allusive spiritual contours. This isn't Cliff Notes or
footnotes or any kind of academic exercise. It's not a critic chinning on the high bar. It's one artist meeting another,
kickstarting a dazzling conversation."
  —Jay Cocks, screenwriter for THE AGE OF INNOCENCE and THE GANGS
OF NEW YORK
  
  "Sean Wilentz is one of the few great American historians. His political and social
histories of American Democracy are masterful and magisterial. In this work, he turns his attention to the artistic
genius of Bob Dylan – and the result is a masterpiece of cultural history that tells us much about who we have
been and who we are." 
  —Cornel West, Class of 1943 University Professor in the Center for African
American Studies at Princeton University
  
  "Sean Wilentz makes us think about Bob Dylan’s
half-century of work in new ways. Combining a scholar’s depth with a sense of mischief appropriate to the
subject, Wilentz hears new associations in famous songs and sends us back to listen to Dylan’s less familiar
music with fresh insights. By focusing on the parts of Dylan’s canon that most move him, Wilentz gets
 
straight to the heart of the matter. If you thought there was nothing new to say about Bob Dylan’s impact on
America, this book will make you think twice." 
  —Bill Flanagan, author of A&R and EVENING’S
EMPIRE and Editorial Director, MTV Networks.
  
  "Sean Wilentz’s beautiful book sets a new
standard for the cultural history of popular music in America. He loves the music and he loves America, but his loves do
not blind him, they open his eyes. In Wilentz’s erudite and lively account, Dylan’s music, and folk music,
and rock music, are all indelibly woven into the whole story of an entire country. This book is chocked with new
contexts for old pleasures. There are surprises and illuminations on almost every page. A great historian has written a
history of the culture that formed him. Like Dylan, Wilentz is a deep and probing American voice. Bob Dylan’s
America is Bob Dylan’s good luck, and ours. It is an extraordinary affirmation of singing and strumming and
feeling and learning and believing." 
  —Leon Wieseltier
  
  Description
  
  One of America’s finest historians shows us how Bob Dylan, one of the country’s greatest and most
enduring artists, still surprises and moves us after all these years.
  
  Growing up in Greenwich Village,
Sean Wilentz discov­ered the music of Bob Dylan as a young teenager; almost half a century later, he revisits
Dylan’s work with the skills of an eminent American historian as well as the passion of a fan. Drawn in part from
Wilentz’s essays as “historian in residence” of Dylan’s official website, Bob Dylan in America
is a unique blend of fact, interpretation, and affinity—a book that, much like its subject, shifts gears and
changes shape as the occasion warrants.
  
  Beginning with his explosion onto the scene in 1961, this book
follows Dylan as he continues to develop a body of musical and literary work unique in our cultural history.
Wilentz’s approach places Dylan’s music in the context of its time, including the early influences of
Popular Front ideology and Beat aesthetics, and offers a larger critical appreciation of Dylan as both a song­writer
and performer down to the present. Wilentz has had unprecedented access to studio tapes, recording notes, rare
photographs, and other materials, all of which allow him to tell Dylan’s story and that of such masterpieces as
Blonde on Blonde with an unprecedented authenticity and richness.
  
  Bob Dylan in
America—groundbreaking, comprehensive, totally absorbing—is the result of an author and a subject
brilliantly met.
