The tenth-century Old English lament and twentieth-century blues
song each speak the language of a distinct poetic tradition, yet
the voices are remarkably similar in their emotive expression of
loneliness. This innovative study juxtaposes the texts of each
corpus to explore the features that characterize their vocal
poetics. McGeachy examines how the texts evoke the dynamic of
performance and explores the role of recording--in manuscript and
on 78 rpm record--in establishing the distinctive formulas of each
genre. Featured are a study of blues artist Robert Johnson's work
and a comparison of two anthologies: the Exeter Book and the
Folkways "Anthology of American Folk Music."
