[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Oxford University Press Inc], What is rock and roll and where does it come from? In this study of music, literature and culture, Perry Meisel shows how rock and roll joins both Romanticism and the blues tradition by testing the boundaries they share: boundaries between freedom and irony, between country and city, between the iconic figures of cowboy (for example,John Wayne) and dandy (Oscar Wilde). In a series of juxtapositions, Meisel looks at rhythm and blues, Emerson and the cowboy, urban blues, the dandy and the psychedelia of the 1960s, Willa Cather, Miles Davis and Virginia Woolf. In the process, Meisel intends to show how "popular" and "high" culture are hardly fixed categories and in fact share deep roots each vainly affects to disdain. This dazzling, adventurous book begins in Colorado with Oscar Wilde. Perry Meisel composes a portrait of American imagination spacious enough to accommodate Emerson, Muddy Waters, Davy Crockett, Toni Morrison, Miles Davis, Virginia Woolf, and Elvis Presley. Readers will find a fascinating picture of the cultural collisions integral to American art and identity. 23 photos. 23 halftones Versandfertig in 6-10 Tagen, DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten)<

What is rock and roll and where does it come from? In this adventurous new study of music, literature, and culture, Perry Meisel shows how rock and roll joins Romanticism and the blues tradition by focusing on the preoccupation with boundaries that are common to both--the boundaries betweenfreedom and irony, country and city, and cowboy and dandy. Meisel traces the emergence of rock and roll out of jazz and Romantic culture alike as he examines, in a series of juxtaposed chapters, rhythm and blues, Emerson and the cowboy, urban blues, the dandy and psychedelia, Willa Cather, MilesDavis, Virginia Woolf, and 1960s rock. In the process, Meisel shows how the presumable difference between high and mass or pop culture disappears when both turn out to have similar structures. He also reveals how canons emerge inevitably within all traditions rather than being imposed upon them fromwithout.
