Description

Explore the complex connections between written text and spoken word in this scholarly study. Literacy and Orality in Eighteenth-Century Irish Song examines how different song genres functioned during a period of massive social change. Part of the Poetry and Song in the Age of Revolution series, this work by Henigan looks at how the elite and vernacular styles interacted within the Irish tradition. This book provides a deep look into the relationship between the written and oral elements that define Irish musical history. By studying various genres, the text illustrates how these connections have remained a characteristic part of the Irish song tradition from the eighteenth century through to the present day. It is an essential resource for those studying historical Irish culture, linguistics, and the evolution of folk music.
