Written through unprecedented access to tapes, notes and photos, this critically acclaimed, best selling biography, is now in paperback.<br><br>How is Dylan the product of a particular time and place? How was Dylan influenced by America’s oldest religious music, founded in New England and preserved in the South, the shape-note hymnal, The Sacred Harp? Would civil rights and anti-Vietnam War marchers have stayed at home without Dylan’s 60's stirring protest songs that inspired a generation of activists? What are the roots of his continuing influence?<br> <br>Sean Wilentz is the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University. He is the author of The Rise of American Democracy, which received the coveted Bancroft Award and, most recently, of The Age of Reagan. The historian-in-residence for Bob Dyan’s official website, he has also received a Deems Taylor Award for musical commentary and a Grammy nomination for his liner notes to Bootleg Series, Vol 6:Bob Dylan, Live 1964: The Concert at Philharmonic Hall.<br><br>Scott Alarik, writer, folk singer and songwriter, will moderate the discussion. His most recent book is Revival: A Folk Music Novel.<br><br>Books will be available to purchase and signing, courtesy of Harvard Book Store..<br><br>Cambridge Forum is recorded and edited for public radio broadcast.
