Hi - the DT Keywords search in our dropdown QuickLinks menu will take you to the nine we have listed in the "incest" category in the Digital Tradition, but I'm sure we have more. Here's the list:
- BONNY HIND
- BROWN ROBYN'S CONFESSION
- KING'S DAUGHTER JANE
- LADY JEAN
- LIZZIE WAN
- SHEATH AND KNIFE
- SHEATH AND KNIFE 2
- THE ORPHANS' WEDDING
- THE WELL BELOW THE VALLEY
Also make a search for incest at the Traditional Ballad Index. You'll come up with this list:
I think we have at least one version of all these songs.
