In the seventeenth century, these single-sheet prints contained rhyming song texts and woodcut pictures, accessible to almost everyone in the country. Dress was a popular subject for ballads, as well as being a commodity with close material and cultural connections to them. This book analyses how the distinctive words and images of these ballads made meaning, both in relation to each other on the ballad sheet and in response to contemporary national events, sumptuary legislation, religious practice, economic theory, the visual arts and literature.Dress cultures.Ballads, EnglishHistory and criticismBroadsidesEngland17th centuryClothing and dress in literatureClothing and dressEnglandHistory17th centuryEnglish poetryEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismFashion in literaturePopular culture and literatureEnglandHistory17th centurySocial & cultural historyElectronic books.Ballads, EnglishHistory and criticism.BroadsidesClothing and dress in literature.Clothing and dressHistoryEnglish poetryHistory and criticism.Fashion in literature.Popular culture and literatureHistory821/.0440904Backhouse Clare1057708BTCTACaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910511475403321Fashion and popular print in early modern England2551698UNINA
