about

The songs which make up these two discs are all either broadside-ballad versions of Elizabethan plays, or ballads which share common sources with those plays. For students of English literature, particularly of the drama, they offer much interesting material since they throw additional light on the character of Shakespeare’s audience. These examples of the popular literature of the time provide an accurate reflection of public taste and, in addition, give some kind of indication of the kind of stories with which people were familiar.
