Description

This scholarly collection presents a rare assembly of bawdy songbooks from the 1830s-40s, originally printed in tiny numbers and pocket-sized formats for discrete circulation and disposal. The 49 songbooks in this volume represent nearly all known surviving examples from William West's publications between 1836 and 1842, making it an invaluable resource for music historians, literary scholars and collectors of Romantic-era popular culture. These chapbooks were designed to be hidden away, passed amongst friends or discarded, yet their survival offers unique insight into the unguarded humour, social commentary and musical tastes of the working and middle classes during this pivotal period. Routledge's compilation captures ephemeral material that would otherwise remain scattered or lost, providing complete documentation of West's output and establishing the definitive record of bawdy songbook production in early Victorian Britain.
