Description

Singing the News: Ballads in Mid-Tudor England offers a unique look at how sixteenth-century ballads functioned as a primary source of information. During a time when discussing politics could be considered treason and no other reliable news sources existed, these songs played a vital role in spreading messages to the public. Author Jenni Hyde provides a readable and accessible account that introduces a new analytical framework for understanding mass communication in the early modern era. This study moves beyond just the written word by examining the melody as much as the lyrics. By looking at how music helped shape the understanding of texts, this book reveals how sound and song influenced the way people processed news and information during the Tudor period.
