Bob Dylan and the British Sixties

Britain played a key role in Bob Dylan's career in the 1960s, yet this period in Dylan's artistic development is still under-represented in the vast library of books on Dylan. Tudor Jones rectifies that with this deeply researched, yet highly readable account of Dylan and the British 1960s.

Dr Tudor Jones is a political historian and is Hon. Research Fellow in History of Political Thought at Coventry University, UK. He is the author of The Revival of British Liberalism: From Grimond to Clegg (2011), Modern Political Thinkers and Ideas (Routledge, 2002) and Remaking the Labour Party: From Gaitskell to Blair (Routledge, 1996). He is also a lifelong admirer of Bob Dylan.
