GUEST New Book: Folk Song in England (2094* d) RE: New Book: Folk Song in England 03 Jan 18


there are numerous sea songs that are emphatic about the harshness of life on board ship. But that seems to me to stand in contrast to the way rural life is presented. How many folk songs lament the harshness of life as a farm labourer?
Where were these songs sung? Would it make sense if the sea songs were sung ashore and the rural songs by those who had migrated to the town.
