Tobacco-Taking and Identity-Making in Early Modern Britain and North America
This article explores the praxis of transatlantic snuff- and tobacco-taking and its importance to personal and national identity-making over the long eighteenth century. It focuses in particular on the role of snuff- and tobacco boxes, which uniquely provided white middling-sorts on both sides of the Atlantic with a socialized canvas upon which significant statements of status, personality, and sensibility could be made. However, a closer study o…

Political street songs and singers in seventeenth‐century England
Ballad singers and sellers were unquestionably important contributors to the urban and rural soundscape in seventeenth century England. They brought the popular musical productions of the metropolis to the provinces and acted as cultural mediators between town and country, centre and periphery, orality and print. While ballads dealing with a wide array of topics were performed and sold on early modern streets for centuries, this article specifica…
“Ne sutor ultra crepidam”: Political Cobblers and Broadside Ballads in Late Seventeenth-Century England 1
Richard Rigby's ballad corpus was published at a peak both of political upheaval in the 1680s and of political ballad production. As a liveried company, "cordwainers" were in a superior trade position to mere cobblers, but Rigby frequently interchanged the words "cobbler" and "shoomaker" in his songs and there is no evidence that he was ever admitted to the Cordwainers' Company of London. Rigby's songs were also deeply embedded within broadside b…
Digital Broadsides: The upsides and the downsides
This article explores the ‘ontological rift’ between the digital and the material archive of political broadside ballads. It outlines the ways in which the ballad’s original diversity has been eroded and homogenised by multiple processes of remediation, including digitisation over time, and investigates the limitations of digitisation projects in delivering the multifarious and widely scattered broadside ballad archive online. Finally, it conside…
Drink, song and politics in early modern England
Between about 1580 and 1690, early modern England experienced three interrelated developments: first, the growth of a successful commercial popular music industry, centred on London, which served a socially broad national market; secondly, the development of political parties, emerging from the political and religious turmoil of the period, which impinged significantly upon the newly burgeoning popular music industry and its markets; thirdly, a s…

Recruiting Citizens for Soldiers in Seventeenth-Century English Ballads
This article revisits the “heroic and glamorous language” of recruitment and retention in seventeenth century England through an exploration of the market, medium and message of many hundreds of “military” ballads that were disseminated from London across the country, especially in times of war. These show that military volunteerism among the lower sorts was less surprising and more sophisticated than historians have previously imagined, which su…
