Bringing together diverse scholars to represent the full historical breadth of the early modern period, and a wide range of disciplines (literature, women's studies, folklore, ethnomusicology, art history, media studies, the history of science, and history), Ballads and Broadsides in Britain, 1500-1800 offers an unprecedented perspective on the development and cultural practice of popular print in early modern Britain. Fifteen essays explore major issues raised by the broadside genre in the early modern period: the different methods by which contemporaries of the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries collected and "appreciated" such early modern popular forms; the preoccupation in the early modern period with news and especially monsters; the concomitant fascination with and representation of crime and the criminal subject; the technology and formal features of early modern broadside print together with its bearing on gender, class, and authority/authorship; and, finally, the nationalizing and internationalizing of popular culture through crossings against (and sometimes with) cultural Others in ballads and broadsides of the time.

Patricia Fumerton is Professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Director of the online English Broadside Ballad Archive. Her many recent publications focus on the early modern "low." Anita Guerrini is Horning Professor in the Humanities and Professor of History at Oregon State University. She has published widely in the history of early modern science. Kris McAbee is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock and formerly Director of the English Broadside Ballad Archive. Her work explores Renaissance sonnet and ballad culture.
