Rhetorical ascription and the gospel according to Dylan

Abstract

The corpus of Bob Dylan's work poses interesting theoretical questions for rhetorical critics. Critical studies in the rhetoric of song have neglected to examine the suasory potentiality of the musical elements of songs, having dealt almost exclusively with lyrical content. This study utilizes rhetorical ascription to unite the lyrical and the musical features of song in an analysis of Bob Dylan's gospel performances.
