Brian Peters	Dave Harker, Fakesong (981* d)	RE: Dave Harker, Fakesong	10 Feb 20
"Fakesong" is not a book about fakes and forgeries, despite a widespread 'idee fausse' that it is." The alleged 'fakes and forgeries' were a key part of Harker's attack on the concept of folk song. What I've tried to demonstrate was that, in this respect at least, the scholarship was extremely poor and agenda-driven. One of Vic Gammon's complaints is of having "barely digested Harker fed back" to him by academics who wish to invalidate the whole field of folk music studies. Steve Roud's work is in a different league of scholarship.
