Sommario/riassunto: | Both biographical and topical, The Ballad Collectors of North America chronicles those individuals most influential in the gathering of North American folksongs and investigates the two leading schools of thought regarding the collection process, the leading proponents of those schools, and the projects shaped by them. Contributors also reflect on the role of technology-especially the phonograph-in the collection efforts and the impact of that technology. Ballad Collectors< |
