Not appreciated in Worthing?' Class expression and popular song texts in mid-nineteenth-century Britain
Recent research shows that the English folksong collectors, who were active before the First World War, systematically selected what they took down from rural working-class singers, basing their selection on what they considered to be worth preserving from such singers' repertories.
