    Description

    Explains the history and significance of the rock band The Doors in terms of Jim Morrison's published poetry.  A great way to get started with Jim's poetry and Doors history! One of the root aspects is that the book really isn't about The Doors per se, it's about a dynamic in modern culture. The Doors just were the first, best example of it!  But the idea is to let The Doors become a bridge to understanding that more vague-seeming subject.
    The thesis edition won Stanford University's Robert Golden Medal for Excellence in the Humanities
    . . . This essay is outstanding for its intellectually adventurous thrust, its commitment to l’imaginaire social, and its profound sense of responsibility.
