This deeply researched collection offers a comprehensive introduction to the eighteenth-century trade in street literature – ballads, chapbooks, and popular prints – 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, slip songs, story books, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high literature. The breadth and depth of the contributions give a much fuller and more nuanced picture of what was being widely published and read during this period than has previously been available. It will be of great value to scholars and students of eighteenth-century popular culture and literature, print history and the book trade, ballad and folk studies, children’s literature, and social history.

Cheap Print and Street Literature of the Long Eighteenth Century

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For cheap print and street literature, the eighteenth century represents a critical period both of continuity and of transition between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The essays in this volume begin with the period around the lapse of the Printing Act in 1695, which opened the way for printing outside of London, and also saw the transition from the use of black-letter to white-letter typefaces for items of cheap print. They then extend through to the end of the wooden hand-press period, in the first couple of decades of the nineteenth century. This introduction introduces the parameters of the subject, including questions around cheap print, literacy, and popular culture, London and the regions, chapmen and chapbooks, the matter of street literature, and the extent of the trade.
