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. 410 0$aDress cultures. 606 $aBallads, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBroadsides$zEngland$y17th century 606 $aClothing and dress in literature 606 $aClothing and dress$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish poetry$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFashion in literature 606 $aPopular culture and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $2Social & cultural history 615 0$aBallads, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBroadsides 615 0$aClothing and dress in literature. 615 0$aClothing and dress$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFashion in literature. 615 0$aPopular culture and literature$xHistory 676 $a821/.0440904 700 $aBackhouse$b Clare$01057708 801 0$bBTCTA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794835903321 996 $aFashion and popular print in early modern England$93773950 997 $aUNINA
