Bob Dylan's cultural production in the second half of the twentieth century—his songs, as well as his evolving images and self-fashionings—has informed and productively reshaped certain images of America from both outside and within.

Refractions of Bob Dylan collects scholarly essays that thoroughly investigate the routes of Bob Dylan's cultural appropriations. The collection examines how Dylan has been used and interpreted by others, and how his work has been reworked into cultural expressions across culturally and regionally divergent spaces.

Additionally, a number of essays explore what Dylan has appropriated and incorporated in his own work, focusing on questions of plagiarism, tribute, allusion, love, and theft. Some of the essays stem from the Refractions of Bob Dylan conference in Vienna (www.dylanvienna.at), which coincided with the 70th birthday of Bob Dylan and featured Dylan experts such as Clinton Heylin, Stephen Scobie, and Michael Gray.
