Description

Originally published in 1983, this influential study examines popular and working-class song in Britain through an innovative cultural and literary lens. The book moves beyond simply cataloguing songs and singers to locate them within their broader cultural context, applying literary criticism principles to this oral medium. It explores how song has served as a natural vehicle for recording everyday experiences - from celebration and commiseration to complaint and protest. This volume combines multiple approaches to understanding folk music and its role in social movements, offering readers a comprehensive historical analysis of working-class musical expression and its significance in British democratic culture.

Key Features

Combines historical analysis with literary criticism to examine working-class song in Britain and its cultural significance.

Focuses on the relationship between popular song and social movements, exploring how music expressed protest and democratic values.

Originally published in 1983, this Routledge volume represents a foundational study in folk music scholarship and cultural history.

Applies principles of literary criticism to oral musical traditions, providing a methodological approach to analysing folk and working-class songs.

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Folk Music series, preserving an important scholarly work on British musical culture.
