Between 1945 and 1975, both France and Greece developed an interplay between literature and popular music, each making a new national canon. Literature provided the aesthetic criteria, the cultural prestige and the institutional basis for what aspired to be a higher form of popular song. Published poems were turned into popular songs, while a critical discourse, in return, celebrated songwriters not only for being as good as poets, but for being singing poets in their own right. In France, there were Georges Brassens, Leo Ferre and Serge Gainsbourg: in Greece, the presitigious title of tragoudopoios (maker of songs) was awarded to Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis and Dionysis Savvopoulos. This challenging and stimulating study draws on a wealth of materials, from theoretical writings by poets, through their lyrics, to the record sleeves and posters used to promote them.

我怎么能不标这书……迪的博士论文，研究希腊近现代音乐、音乐文学互动关系的必读书目。我必须说我只读完过第二章，第三章想读完但是实在不好读，第一章虽然我对George Brassens极其感兴趣，但是缺乏基础知识实在也没胆量读。第二章虽然我读过至少5遍，但是很多内容也仍然不是很理解，下学期准备亲自问问作者到底有些地方想说啥。
