Summary/Abstract: Bob Dylan and his work are constantly changing. He closes one chapter only to open another, and in this sense his creative development recalls that of twentieth-century giants such as Pablo Picasso or Miles Davis. Starting off by reinventing a folk tradition in the 1960s, Dylan drew on rock’n’ roll and then country and gospel music to find his own musical expression. His music went hand in hand with lyrics that changed the face of popular culture. Dyland broadened the vocabulary of song lyrics, introducing surreal elements and the stream of consciousness. He opened up a popular form to themes that had been untouched. The Nobel Prize for Bob Dylan was a way of honouring both song and a literary genre.
