Description

Street Ballads in Nineteenth-Century Britain, Ireland, and North America examines the critical relationship between print and oral traditions in folk music history. This Routledge publication challenges the long-held assumption that traditional songs originated purely from oral sources, revealing instead how cheap printed broadsides and chapbooks distributed by jobbing printers from the late sixteenth century through the early twentieth century shaped popular musical culture. The book explores how professional songwriters composed and published works that reached ordinary people through printed media, and demonstrates that many traditional singers actually learned their repertoire from these printed sources rather than exclusively through oral transmission. By investigating the interface between printed street literature and oral performance, this scholarly work provides essential insights into how folk ballads were truly created, disseminated, and preserved across Britain, Ireland, and North America during the nineteenth century.
