Often described as the archetypal English band, they were above all a quintessentially working-class band with a deep attachment to London. Mark Doyle examines the relationship between \u003cem\u003ethe Kinks\u003c\/em\u003e and their city, from their early songs of teenage rebellion to their album-length works of social criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe finds fascinating and sometimes surprising connections with figures as diverse as Edmund Burke, John Clare and Charles Dickens. More than just a book about \u003cem\u003ethe Kinks\u003c\/em\u003e, this is a book about a social class undergoing a series of profound changes, and about a group of young men who found a way to describe, lament and occasionally even celebrate those changes through song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471800680684,"sku":"9781789142303","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781789142303-the-kinks.jpg?v=1775255298","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-kinks-by-mark-doyle-9781789142303","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
