Download or read book Later English Broadside Ballads written by John Holloway and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lively, exciting, amusing - this collection of ballads reveal the bawdy, anarchic sub-culture of England before the Industrial Revolution. Drawn from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, it demonstrates the great wealth and variety of the English broadside ballads during these periods. At this time political balladry was rife and Irish ballads began to be composed in English - their distinctive background giving them a unique range of poetry. Indeed, these ballads represent an extensive, varied and important area of English literature. Written, as the editors observe, 'to provide a moment in which listeners could enjoy verse, wit and song', they very much reflect the lively observation, love of detail and social awareness of the age of the novel. This volume includes 127 ballads, ranging from 'Admiral Benbow' and 'The Jolly Bacchanal' to 'The Bottle the Best Companion' and 'The Young Man's Fortune'. Reprinted from contemporary or near-contemporary broadsides in the Madden Collection at the University Library, Cambridge, the head and tail blocks, a distinguished feature of the original texts, are also reproduced for this edition. The introduction is designed to enable individuals to read the texts in perspective and with pleasure. The book further includes a select bibliography and an index of ballad titles. This book was first published in 1975.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadside or 'Street' ballads not only give the flavour of English life and history more vividly than much historical evidence of more conventional kinds, but their sheer poetic quality often makes them substantial poems, light or serious, in their own right. This second volume, taking examples mainly over the years 1800-40 from the immense Madden Collection in the University Library, Cambridge, continutes the same literary emphasis, especially with a large number of pieces exploiting all the bustle, humour and variety of life in London - the colourful, crowded, rapidly-expanding metropolis of the period. Other sections concentrate on more traditional themes like crime and transportation, religion (some moving 'freemason' songs), love-making, sex and the 'sex war': or on fashion, the Royal Family and its escapades, and life in the army or navy. There is also an extensive collection of 'Napoleon' ballads, ranging from the early years through to his final re-internment in Paris. This book, illustrated with some remarkable large-scale contemporary woodcuts, should interest not only social historians and students of literature, but also all who have an ear for the verse of the people. This book was first published in 1979.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of an Unique Collection of Ancient English Broadside Ballads: Printed Entirely in the Black Letter The singular collection of original ballads, briefly described in the following pages, consists exclusively of pieces in the black-letter or old English type, nearly all of which belong, moreover, to that rarest and most interesting class, the really vernacular fugitive ballads of the common people. There is a wide difference, noticed especially in sheet-ballads of the seventeenth century, between thole which emanated from the more cultivated writers, and those which were the authentic productions either of or written for the street ballad-finger. The former are purer in their diction, usually more ambitious as to typography, and are either not embellished with woodcuts, or, if so, with illustrations superior to the rude designs that adorn the others.
