As a distinctive and attractive musical repertory, the hundred-odd
English carols of the fifteenth century have always had a ready
audience. But some of the key viewpoints about them date back to
the late 1920s, when Richard L. Greene first defined the poetic
form; and little has been published about them since the burst of
activity around 1950, when a new manuscript was found and when John
Stevens published his still definitive edition of all the music,
both giving rise to substantial publications by major scholars in
both music and literature. This book offers a new survey of the
repertory with a firmer focus on the form and its history. Fresh
examination of the manuscripts and of the styles of the music they
contain leads to new proposals about their dates, origins and
purposes. Placing them in the context of the massive growth of
scholarly research on other fifteenth-century music over the past
fifty years gives rise to several fresh angles on the music.
