Irish political street ballads and rebel songs, 1780-1900

by Georges Denis Zimmermann

"First published in the late 1960s, the book has been recognized as a standard work in the field. This edition includes a new preface that places the work into perspective, takes note of subsequent publications, and suggests further lines of research on an important historical and cultural phenomenon that affected many ordinary Irish people and influenced Irish writers in different ways."--Jacket.
