‘A CLEVER AND FASCINATING ANGLE ON THE BEATLES’
‘The premise that links these fiery, inspired and frankly shocking poets with The Beatles is beautifully argued …
Not least the spot-on caricature of William Wordsworth as Elvis Presley: in his younger days a hero and a rebel,
but later to become a stodgy, forelock-tugging conservative. Absolutely fascinating. What next?
Let’s get Peter Jackson to dig out the old reels of Byronmania’. - Boff Whalley, RnR magazine March/April 2025
‘MORE THAN A WORDSWORTH OF PRAISE FOR THIS NEW BOOK’
‘This wonderful book … is extremely informative and entertaining.
You will be amazed at many of Webster’s anecdotes … Many of the
parallels he draws are quite frankly, astounding. I learned a lot …
not only about the Beatles as a cultural phenomenon, but about the significant
contributions of the Romantics to English literature’. - John ‘Buzz’ Bezzini, beatlesbookstore.com
‘If only I had read it in 1974 I am sure I would have got a first
rather than a measly upper 2nd…’. Oxford-based artist John Hounam.
A fascinating must-read for all those with a
passion for music, poetry and cultural rebels!
