1 As I have written books on Bob Dylan, and most recently one on his touring and
live performances, it was inevitable I would keep thinking of connections as I wrote
this book on Shakespeare productions.
I have drawn these connections together into the following article: Two Bards. This
first appeared, in a slightly earlier version, in the Dylan magazine ISIS #180 in
June 2015. It is written with an audience knowledgeable about Bob Dylan in mind but,
hopefully, will hold enough relevant content to interest everyone, regardless of
pre-knowledge on the subjects discussed.
