Summary:
"21st-century Beatles fans continue to find new ways to access the group and view new content. Interviews with and surveys of authors and readers alongside textual analysis of BRPF texts provide insight into the fandom and creation of fanfiction. This analysis ultimately demonstrates that all generations of Beatles fans desire belonging to a community in which their fandom can be shared and Beatles knowledge celebrated. For newer generations of fans who were not present during the Beatles active period, BRPF offers a way to learn more about the group whilst gaining an intimacy with them"-- Provided by publisher.
