Sandy Paton Help: Female Rambling Sailor (many versions) (28) RE: Help: Female Rambling Sailor 15 Jan 01

Dianne Dugaw, who teaches English literature at the University of Colorado (if my feeble memory serves me right) wrote a very scholarly study of the motif, entitled Warrior Women and Popular Balladry, 1650-1850, published by Cambridge University Press as part of their Studies in Eighteenth-Century English Literature and Thought. You might want to check it out, if you can find it in your local library. I got my copy from a bookseller in the UK.
