Second volume in two-volume catalogue of Pepys's outstanding
collection of 17c ballads. The Pepys ballad collection is the
largest surviving collection of English ballads printed in London
in the seventeenth century, and is an outstanding source of English
popular culture of the period. Pepys himself grouped the ballads
into subjects, but a proper catalogue has long been needed by
scholars, and this complex and difficult task has at last been
completed. As a result, the full riches of the collection, already
available in facsimile*, are now properly accessible. The second
part of the catalogue consists of the indexes. Titles and
sub-titles are indexed together, as these are often
interchangeable. First lines and refrains provide text indexes;
tunes and music are a guide to the musical element; and imprints,
licensing information and authors enable the printing history to be
reconstructed. The Pepys Ballads: Facsimile Vols. I-V 085991 256 6,
