Studies in Ephemera: Text and Image in Eighteenth-Century Print
brings together established and emerging scholars of early modern
print culture to explore the dynamic relationships between words
and illustrations in a wide variety of popular cheap print from the
seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. While ephemera was
ubiquitous in the period, it is scarcely visible to us now, because
only a handful of the thousands of examples once in existence have
been preserved. Nonetheless, single-sheet printed works, as well as
pamphlets and chapbooks, constituted a central part of visual and
literary culture, and were eagerly consumed by rich and poor alike
in Great Britain, North America, and on the Continent. Displayed in
homes, posted in taverns and other public spaces, or visible in
shop windows on city streets, ephemeral works used sensational
means to address themes of great topicality. The English broadside
ballad, of central concern in this volume, grew out of oral
culture; the genre addressed issues of nationality, history, gender
and sexuality, economics, and more. Richly illustrated and well
researched, Studies in Ephemera offers interdisciplinary
perspectives into how ephemeral works reached their audiences
through visual and textual means. It also includes essays that
describe how collections of ephemera are categorized in digital and
conventional archives, and how our understanding of these works is
shaped by their organization into collections. This timely and
fascinating book will appeal to archivists, and students and
scholars in many fields, including art history, comparative
literature, social and economic history, and English literature.
