GUEST,Pseudonymous How To Research the History of a Song (58* d) How To Research the History of a Song 07 Mar 20


Interesting question. One raised by the 38th Katharine Briggs Memorial Lecture about the 'construction' of folklore by collectors and scholars.

How is it done? I mean in general, not in respect of a particular song.

I would include both the finding out and the presentation of those findings as 'research'.
