Cambridge University launch course centered on Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen

Students will next week gather at one of the world's most famous universities to study the songs of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.

Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education is running a two-day course, called Changing Times, focusing on the work of Dylan and Cohen in the 1960s.

A spokeswoman said writer Jem Poster and musicologist Stephen Ferron would examine "lyrics and music" during the course over the bank holiday weekend.

She said students would study Dylan at sessions called Folk And Protest, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde and Cohen at sessions called Poet And Singer, Songs Of Leonard Cohen, Songs From A Room and Songs Of Love And Hate.
