Klappentext "This book addresses many of the most significant aspects of the Beatles--their music and their social and cultural influence and contexts. It finds a balance between specialist knowledge (i.e.! musicology) and more general interest! and it covers the full breadth of the Beatles' output. The Beatles effected a significant and irreversible epoch in popular music! and for this reason deserve a sound academic study of the many aspects of their arrival! their dominance! their challenges! and their legacy. Such a study is provided here in a diverse and inventive collection of engaging essays."
