Description

Explore the world of seventeenth-century England through Damnable Practises by Routledge. This work examines the fascinating role of broadside ballads, which were folio-sized publications featuring verse, tune indications, and woodcut imagery. These ballads reached a wide range of social classes, offering everything from cautionary tales and current events to simplified versions of myth and history. These publications occupied a unique space in English culture. They existed at the intersection of music and text, as well as oral and written traditions. Whether sung by balladmongers in the streets or pasted to the walls of local taverns and domestic spaces, these ballads were a constant presence in both public and private life. This book looks at how these songs functioned as both entertainment and a way to destabilize social categories. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of music, social history, and the cultural impact of early modern printed media.
