Description
First published in 1973, Quadrophenia is a concept album by The Who that tells the story of young Mod Jimmy Cooper and his struggles with identity and belonging.
This new study explores the lasting appeal of the album, which was later adapted into a film in 1979. Investigating academic, music, press, and fan responses to Quadrophenia, Stephen Glynn argues that its enduring popularity stems from its emotional honesty and nuanced portrayal of the complexities of youth culture.
Through a detailed analysis of the album's narrative and cultural context, this book sheds new light on why Quadrophenia remains a powerful and thought-provoking work of music.
