Tell-Tale Signs - Edgar Allan Poe and Bob Dylan: Towards a Model of Intertextuality
ATLANTIS. Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies. 31.2 (December 2009): 41–56 ISSN 0210-6124 Tell-Tale Signs - Edgar Allan Poe and Bob Dylan: Towards a Model of Intertextuality Christopher Rollason Metz, France [email protected] This article shows how the poetry and prose of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) cast a long shadow over the work of America’s greatest living songwriter, Bob Dylan (1941-). The work of both artists straddles the dividing-line between ‘high’ and ‘mass’ culture by pertaining to both: read through Poe, Dylan’s work may be seen as a significant manifestation of American Gothic. It is further suggested, in the context of nineteenth- century and contemporary debates on alleged ‘plagiarism’, that the textual strategy of ‘embedded’ quotation, as employed by both Poe and Dylan, points up the need today for an open and inclusive model of intertextuality. Keywords: culture; Dylan; Gothic; intertextuality; Poe; quotation Tell-tale signs - Edgar Allan Poe y Bob Dylan: hacia un modelo de intertextualidad Este artículo explica cómo la poesía y la prosa de Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) proyectan una larga sombra sobre la obra del mayor cantautor vivo de Estados Unidos, Bob Dylan (1941-). Ambos artistas se ubican en una encrucijada entre la cultura ‘de elite’ y la ‘de masas’, puesto que la obra de cada uno se sitúa en ambos dominios a la vez: leída a través de Poe, la obra dylaniana aparece como una importante manifestación del gótico norteamericano. Se plantea igualmente la hipótesis de que, en el marco de los debates, tanto decimonónicos como contemporáneos, sobre el supuesto ‘plagio’, la estrategia textual, empleada tanto por Poe como por Dylan, de la cita ‘encajada’ señala la necesidad urgente de plantear un modelo abierto y global de la intertextualidad. -

Who's This Guy Dylan Who's Borrowing Lines from Henry Timrod?
Who’s This Guy Dylan Who’s Borrowing Lines From Henry Timrod? - New York Times Page 1 of 4 September 14, 2006 Who’s This Guy Dylan Who’s Borrowing Lines From Henry Timrod? By MOTOKO RICH Perhaps you’ve never heard of Henry Timrod, sometimes known as the poet laureate of the Confederacy. But maybe you’ve heard his words, if you’re one of the 320,000 people so far who have bought Bob Dylan’s latest album, “Modern Times,” which made its debut last week at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. It seems that many of the lyrics on that album, Mr. Dylan’s first No. 1 album in 30 years (down to No. 3 this week), bear some strong echoes to the poems of Timrod, a Charleston native who wrote poems about the Civil War and died in 1867 at the age of 39. “More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours,” the 65-year-old Mr. Dylan sings in “When the Deal Goes Down,” one of the songs on “Modern Times.” Compare that to these lines from Timrod’s “Rhapsody of a Southern Winter Night”: A round of precious hours Oh! here, where in that summer noon I basked And strove, with logic frailer than the flowers. “No doubt about it, there has been some borrowing going on,” said Walter Brian Cisco, who wrote a 2004 biography of Timrod, when shown Mr. Dylan’s lyrics. Mr. Cisco said he could find at least six other phrases from Timrod’s poetry that appeared in Mr. -

Shakespeare’sin the Alley: Our featured artist, Skye, wasn’t a fan of Bob Dylan’s music when he burst into popularity in the mid 1960s— it was the Beatles who held the then teenager’s ear.

E S349s Bob Dylan
E s349S l Bob Dylan Instructor: Doherty, Brian Areas: Roman Numeral I–VI Unique #: 83748 Flags: Flag Name(s) Semester: Summer 2013 Restrictions: Honors, Longhorn Scholars, etc. Cross-lists: XXX ### Computer Instruction: Y/N Prerequisites: Six semester hours of upper-division coursework in English. Description: The New Criticism in literary studies propounded that it is the text alone which needs to be explored by the critic— biography, history, geography, anything outside of the text is irrelevant to criticism. While we will do quite a bit of close reading of Dylan’s songs (poems) this will not be a course fueled by the New Criticism. Dylan is emblematic of his times, of the folk tradition, of the era of rock music, of the legions of singer-songwriters who followed. He is influential to scores of artists, and was influenced by scores of artists. We will take much of this into consideration as we explore Bob Dylan, the artist, Bob Dylan, the Mythic Figure of American culture. Bob Dylan the musician. Texts: Dylan, Bob. Chronicles, Volume One. Marcus, Griel. Like a Rolling Stone Other Readings will be made available in a course reader, posted as links to online articles, or as pdf files. Requirements & Grading: Quizzes.
