The author follows the singer’s life, examining his albums and a variety of influences (both musical and nonmusical), especially his Catholic upbringing and his family life, to show how he became an outspoken icon for working-class America—indeed for working-class life throughout the world. In this way, the author emphasizes the universality of Springsteen’s canon and depicts how a working-class sensibility can apply to anyone anywhere who believes in fairness and respect. In addition, the author places Springsteen in the historical context not only of literature (especially John Steinbeck) but also of the art world (specifically the work of Thomas Hart Benton and Edward Hopper). Among the themes explored in the book include community, a sense of place, America as the Promised Land, the myth of the West, and, ultimately, mortality.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 132mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 172gAuthor: June Skinner Sawyers, Andre Dubus III IIIContributor: Andre Dubus III (Afterword by)Genre: Music Dance & TheatreTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityType: StylesIntended Audience: 16 years and upRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
