The Big Picture
Dylan's work as part of a long chain of folk, blues, country, gospel, popular-song, and literary traditions that he absorbs, reworks, and transmits.
Understanding Dylan requires mapping his relationship to older musical and poetic sources, because his originality often operates through quotation, adaptation, homage, and recombination.
