Tóm tắt

"This book sheds new light on the work of Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel by moving beyond the biographical and linguistic approaches that tend to dominate the study of French song. Chris Tinker is careful to pay attention to the musical aspects of the songs, considering the ways in which they alternately support or undermine the personas developed in the lyrics. This book represents the first full-length comparative study of the work - and the worlds - of Brassens and Brel, two of the most significant figures in French popular and musical culture."--BOOK JACKET.
