The Cambridge companion to the singer-songwriter
2016
Books
The singer-songwriter tradition has a long and complex history dating back to the medieval troubadour and earlier. This volume explains the historical contexts, musical analyses, and theoretical frameworks of that tradition, in the context of issues including authenticity, gender, queer studies, musical analysis, and performance. The contributors reveal how the tradition has been expressed around the world and throughout its history to the present day, and provide case studies of a wide range of both well- and lesser-known singer-songwriters, from Thomas d'Urfey through to Carole King and Kanye West.
