Desire, Drink and Death in English Folk and Vernacular Song, 1600–1900
This much-needed book provides valuable insights into themes and genres in popular song in the period c. 1600-1900. In particular it is a study of popular ballads as they appeared on printed sheets and as they were recorded by folk song collectors. Vic Gammon discusses the way song articulates aspects of popular mentality and he relates the discourse of the songs to social history. He also discusses the themes and narratives that run through genres of song material and how these are repeated and reworked through time. The book will appeal to those interested in folk song, historical popular music, ballad literature, popular literature, popular culture, social history, anthropology and sociology.
