More than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings, the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator. Over the six decades of its existence, however, it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians, artists, and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoss Hair\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in American Literature and Culture at the University of East Anglia, UK.
