# Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings

Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings... is an historic book of Tyneside popular and traditional songs that consisted, in its final published form, of a compilation of approximately 400 song lyrics and notes, with added songwriter and subject biographies and geographical details, together spanning over 600 pages (published, 1891). It was reprinted in 1972 by Frank Graham, Newcastle upon Tyne, with an introduction by music scholar David Harker.

## Publication of Tyneside Songs

The series of works are, as their titles suggest, collections of songs, topical and of popular interest at the dates of their publication. In addition, a considerable amount of further material was eventually introduced, material including illustrations of Newcastle, biographies (and related articles) on the song's composers, as well as comments from the editors regarding their influences in choosing the songs of the various editions.
The series of works began to appear in 1862, when Thomas Allan published the original work in the series, which was called "Tyneside Songs"—a very small work mainly covering songs of Edward "Ned" Corvan and George "Geordie" Ridley. A version followed in 1863, entitled "A Choice Collection of Tyneside songs", which listed "E. Corvan, G. Ridley, J. P. Robson, R. Emery, &c., &c., &c., &c., &c." as authors, and which included engravings and text descriptions of Newcastle. A third version, of 1864, was likewise titled, listing the same authors.
A further edition was published in 1872, appearing under the same title as the 1863 volume ("A Choice Collection..."), but listing as authors "[Joe] Wilson, [Edward] Corvan, [William] Mitford, [Robert] Gilchrist, [Rowland] Harrison, [J. P.] Robson, [Robert] Emery, [Geordie] Ridley, [William] Oliver, [Jack] Shield, &c,. &c.", and including illustrations of Newcastle and, newly added, "Portraits of the Poets [and] Eccentrics of Newcastle".
The final edition of the series was published in 1891, entitled "Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings...", a revised edition that included songwriter biographies, portraits, and autographs, as well as notes on the songs.
Hence, over the years that the Allans developed the book series, continually adding to it, it eventually, as of this date, became an extremely large volume, containing almost 400 songs and spanning almost 600 pages. Eventually, the name was changed to "Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings...", and the contents increased to cover the songs, as well as details and histories of them, and of their writers and singers. Moreover, as it developed, its scope changed from being limited to popular songs, to encompass many older traditional songs, thus spreading the popularity of the series to a wider audience. It is now considered an invaluable historical reference.
