Description

Explore the complex relationship between print and oral traditions in this scholarly work from Routledge. Street Ballads in Nineteenth-Century Britain, Ireland, and North America examines how traditional songs were shaped by more than just spoken word. For years, researchers assumed traditional songs came primarily from oral traditions, but new studies into street literature change this perspective. This book investigates the role of cheap printed broadsides and chapbooks produced by jobbing printers from the late sixteenth century through the early twentieth century. You will learn how many traditional singers actually learned their repertoire from printed sources rather than through oral transmission alone. Most songs of this era were composed by professional writers and distributed to the public in printed form, making this text a necessary resource for understanding the history of folk music and social history. It provides a deep look at the interface where printed media met the common populace across Britain, Ireland, and North America.
