Description

Discover a rare collection of 1830s-40s bawdy songbooks in this specialized Routledge volume, featuring items published by M. Metford (1833-40) and G. K. Edwards (1835-6). These historically significant chapbooks were originally printed in small numbers and pocket-sized formats, designed to be discreetly carried, shared amongst friends, or discarded without trace. Collectors have long pursued these elusive publications, and this volume presents nearly the complete known collection of 49 songbooks from the period. This comprehensive third volume offers invaluable insights into the social and cultural attitudes of the Romantic era, capturing authentic vernacular humour and bawdy traditions that defined working-class entertainment during this fascinating historical moment.
