Description

This comprehensive study by Vic Gammon explores the themes and genres of popular song across three centuries of English cultural history. Focusing on printed ballads and recordings collected by folk song scholars, the book examines how popular mentality is articulated through vernacular music and connects song discourse directly to social history.

The work reveals the relationship between popular song and the broader social and economic changes that shaped English society from 1600 to 1900, offering valuable insights into how folk and vernacular songs functioned as expressions of popular culture and social consciousness.
