'I consider myself a poet first and a musician second'
'It ain't the melodies that're important man, it's the words'

There is no shortage of books about Bob Dylan. This one, however, is unique in its approach and the virtuosity of its execution.

Ricks examines Dylan's songs through the biblical concepts of the seven deadly Sins, the four cardinal Virtues and the three Heavenly Graces. He does so with what one critic has described as 'an ultimately irresistible combination of laser-like intelligence with a fan's exuberant idolatry'.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'I consider myself a poet first and a musician second.' 'It ain't the melodies that're important man, it's the words.' Two quotes from Dylan himself that underline the importance of this book. Dylanology thrives. There is no shortage of books about him and many of them will be dusted off for his 70th birthday. This one, however, stands on its own both for its unusual approach and for the virtuosity of its execution. Ricks's scheme, aptly, is to examine Dylan's songs through the biblical concepts of the seven deadly Sins, the four Virtues, and the three Heavenly Graces. He carries it off with panache. Ricks may be the most eminent literary critic of his generation but nobody should feel his book is one of earnest, unapproachable exegesis, on the contrary it has a flamboyance, almost effervescence about it that is captivating. Ricks boldly and successfully judges Dylan as a poet not a lyricist and makes illuminating comparisons with canonical writers such as Eliot, Hardy, Hopkins and Larkin. A critically-acclaimed examination of Bob Dylan's lyrics as poetry, through the prism of the 7 Deadly Sins Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
