Street Ballads in Nineteenth-Century Britain, Ireland, and North America - The Interface between Print and Oral Traditions (Hardcover, New Ed)

In recent years, the assumption that traditional songs originated
from a primarily oral tradition has been challenged by research
into 'street literature' - that is, the cheap printed broadsides
and chapbooks that poured from the presses of jobbing printers from
the late sixteenth century until the beginning of the twentieth.
Not only are some traditional singers known to have learned songs
from printed sources, but most of the songs were composed by
professional writers and reached the populace in printed form.
Street Ballads in Nineteenth-Century Britain, Ireland, and North
America engages with the long-running debate over the origin of
traditional songs by examining street literature's interaction
with, and influence on, oral traditions.
