Book Synopsis The Beatles and Fandom by : Richard Mills

Download or read book The Beatles and Fandom written by Richard Mills and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, death and nostalgia are among the impulses driving Beatles fandom: the metaphorical death of the Beatles after their break-up in 1970 has fueled the progressive nostalgia of fan conventions for 48 years; the death of John Lennon and George Harrison has added pathos and drama to the Beatles' story; Beatles Monthly predicated on the Beatles' good looks and the letters page was a forum for euphemistically expressed sexuality. The Beatles and Fandom is the first book to discuss these fan subcultures. It combines academic theory on fandom with compelling original research material to tell an alternative history of the Beatles phenomenon: a fans' history of the Beatles that runs concurrently with the popular story we all know.
