Synopsis

This book is a collection of songs and poems from the German "vagabond" or wandering artisan tradition. The selections included were written from the 13th through 20th centuries, with a focus on the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the songs were collected from individuals who sang them while traveling throughout Germany and give voice to the joys and sorrows of their lives and experiences, reflecting themes such as love, desire, loss and longing, and personal freedom. This book stands as a historical record of an important, yet ephemeral, form of German folk music.
