About this Item

New oversized hardcover in glossy casewraps. Text is clean and free of marks and underlining. Includes bibliography, glossary, illustrations, and 2 CDs. xxiii, 335 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This volume serves as a companion to the online English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA) and is a guide to the ballad collection of diarist Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) (the Pepys Ballad Archive (PBA) includes more than 1,800 broadside ballads). It offers 155 ballads representative of Pepys's categories, as well as essays which explain features of each category and CDs of recordings of the first two stanzas of each selected ballad. Fumerton introduces brief background essays about seventeenth-century ballad culture, its rise in the period, and current controversies. She aims to revive early English broadside ballads for students and scholars as texts, art, songs, and social records of the period. Twenty-two chapters are divided into four parts: the culture of broadside ballads; the formal features of broadside ballads; collecting: from scrapbooks to cyberspace; and selecting and selections. There is also a list of Ballad Selections: Devotion and morality; history; tragedy; state and times; love pleasant; love unfortunate; marriage; sea; drinking and good fellowship; humor and frolics; and various supplements. Recordings of Available Tunes for Ballad Selections is similarly themed. There is a list of selected ballads (by Pepys Category), list of tunes.
