Hardcover volume, measuring approximately 7.5" x 10.5", is new, still in shrinkwrap. 335 pages. "This book is an expert interdisciplinary guide to the English Ballad Archive's important database of 1,800 broadside ballads collected by Samuel Pepys and is accompanied by 155 representative selections from the ballads as well as CD recordings of extant tunes (allowing the book to be used as a standalone resource with or without EBBA). The work provides short, informative essays about the cultural background and formal features of the ballads, Pepys's collecting practices, and the organizing categories Pepys used in compiling his five-album collection. Supplemented by a glossary and referencing further resources in EBBA the work is an indispensable research and teaching tool that helps us look through the window that broadside ballads open on the past.".
