Publisher's Synopsis
Bruce Springsteen and the American Tradition From his blue collar roots in New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen forged a level of critical and commercial success almost unprecedented in the seventies. In this wide-ranging, myth-shattering appraisal of Springsteen's life and music, Jim Culln analyses the cultural impact and demonstrates why Springsteen is heir to John Steinbeck, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln and even Martin Luther King. A provocative look at one of America's cultural icons.
