2016 saw the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature to Bob Dylan and the death of Leonard Cohen, and this would seem an appropriate time to assess the achievement of these two giants of modern songwriting. Focusing primarily, though not exclusively, on the songs written during the turbulent 1960s, poet and novelist Jem Poster, together with guitarist and musicologist Stephen Ferron, will look closely at the work of both writers, addressing both lyrics and music.

The weekend has been conceived as a whole and there will be an advantage in attending both days; however, there is an option of attending for one day only, on either day. The first of the two days will be devoted largely to Dylan, while the second will be devoted largely to Cohen. A related musical event (Bonus Tracks) will take place on the Saturday night, as part of the course, by Stephen Ferron and a fellow musician.

This course is offered in conjunction with, Changing Times I: The Songs of Bob Dylan, taking place on Saturday 9 February 2019.
