Opis

Reissuing works originally published between 1968 and 1995, this fascinating collection of books on song and culture and folk music more widely is a superb resource in cultural studies, history and music in one place. Some works look at the contribution of an individual to the understanding of folk singing, or the songs and stories from one region, while others take a wider look at the spread within the Anglo-American folk music sphere. Nearly all books contain tunes and lyrics related to their topics and between them present a great display of the scholarship in this deeply interesting area.
