Conclusion. 330 $aAs a book on allusion, this has interest for both the traditional literary or cultural historian and for the modern student of textuality and readership positions. It focuses on allusion to folksong, and, more tangentially, to popular culture, areas which have so far been slighted by literary critics. In the nineteenth century many authors attempted to mediate the culture(s) of the working classes for the enjoyment of their predominantly middle-class audiences. In so doing they took songs out of their original social and musical contexts and employed a variety of strategies which - consciously or unconsciously - romanticised, falsified or denigrated what the novels or stories claimed to represent. In addition, some writers who were well-informed about the cultures they described used allusion to song as a covert system of reference to topics such as sexuality and the criticism of class and gender relations which it was difficult to discuss directly. 410 0$aNineteenth century (Aldershot, England) 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and folklore$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aFolk songs, English$zGreat Britain$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBallads, English$zGreat Britain$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPopular culture in literature 606 $aFolk songs in literature 606 $aFolklore in literature 606 $aRealism in literature 606 $aIntertextuality 606 $aAllusions 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and folklore$xHistory 615 0$aFolk songs, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBallads, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPopular culture in literature. 615 0$aFolk songs in literature. 615 0$aFolklore in literature. 615 0$aRealism in literature. 615 0$aIntertextuality. 615 0$aAllusions. 676 $a809.39357 700 $aJackson-Houlston$b C.
