Abstract
In this book, C. M. Jackson-Houlston is concerned less with folk music itself than with allusions to folk songs in the writings of nineteenth-century British novelists. She emphasizes the importance of performance in the transmission of traditional folk songs, and she insists that song "is dependent on the affective power of music as well as on its words" (p. 176), but her attention is usually restricted to lyrics and texts, and aside from a few pages on early collections of ballads and songs, she focuses almost entirely on literary materials.
