JPGR&B SUBS 2nd Jul 2022		Review Annotation: This book traces the musical and cultural achievements of the Beatles as a contemporary musical phenomenon to its origins in the Romantic revolution of 1790's England when traditional concepts of literature, politics, education, and social relationships were challenged. This is not as far-fetched as one might at first imagine, for in the 1960s a new generation of politically and socially disenfranchised artists and writers worked their way through Britain's class system to make their collective voices heard. This is perhaps the first study of the relationship between the Beatles and the Romantic poets, an important issue if one also remembers that Liverpool contained several poets of note (Adrian Henri, Brian Pattern, Roger McGough) while the Beatles were developing their skills - and that Michael McCartney, brother of Paul, was closely connected with this local movement. One would have to take care however that we do not consider the Beatles' lyrics as poetry. Their lyrics could indeed be 'poetic' but the words were serving quite different purposes to those provided by the Romantic or indeed the Mersey poets.
