Subject: RE: Us and Them: folk music and political persuasion

I should have added that one of the first assembled collections of songs was 'The Political Songs of England' (from the reign of John to that of Edward II) by Thomas Wright, half of which were in Latin.
As I said, political songs have been with us for a long time.
