📢#OutNow in #OA: '#CheapPrint and #StreetLiterature of the #LongEighteenthCentury', edited by David Atkinson and Steve Roud.

This deeply researched collection offers a comprehensive introduction to the #eighteenthcentury trade in #streetliterature – #ballads, #chapbooks, and #popularprints – in England and Scotland.

Offering detailed studies of a selection of the printers, types of publication, and places of publication that constituted the cheap and popular print trade during the period, these essays delve into #ballads, #slipsongs, #storybooks, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high #literature.

It will be of great value to scholars and students of eighteenth-century #popularculture and #literature, #print #history and the #booktrade, #ballad and #folk studies, children’s literature, and #socialhistory.
