Description: In penny prints, the lyrics were printed while the melodies shone with their absence. Sometimes references were made to melodies that were known to contemporaries but are often unknown today. What can we know about these melodies and how did the text and melody adapt to each other? This book explores the melodic worlds of songs with amusing insights into the role of penny prints in contemporary social and political life.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 194-203) and indexes.
