Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of popular English songs that were sung and enjoyed by the masses from the earliest period up until the mid-19th-century. The author has sought to preserve these songs in the face of the increasing popularity of music halls and printed song collections, which were threatening to relegate oral tradition to the past. The songs in this book represent a fascinating cross-section of British life, from the stirring naval songs of the Georgian era to the sentimental ballads of the Victorian period. They offer a unique insight into the lives, loves, and losses of ordinary people, and provide a valuable historical record of the popular culture of the time. The author has arranged the songs chronologically, and provides a brief introduction to each one, setting it in its historical context and explaining any unfamiliar terms or references. This makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of popular song, or in the social and cultural history of Britain. Whether you are a casual reader or a serious scholar, this book is sure to provide you with hours of enjoyment and enlightenment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
