"[A] brainy and bracing account"--The Independent [London]. "A lovingly conceived, scholarly, and entertaining tribute to the great popular wordsmiths of this century"--Michael Feinstein. From the turn of the century to the 1960s, the songwriters of Tin Pan Alley--including giants such as Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, and Cole Porter--dominated American popular music. In The Poets of Tin Pan Alley,
literary critic Philip Furia offers a unique new perspective on these great American lyricists, showing that the poetic qualities of their lyrics contributed almost as much as their brilliant music to a golden age of American song.
