Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain A Social History of Amateur Music-Making and Scottish National Identity: Scotland's Printed Music, 1880-1951, (Hardcover)

Karen McAulay shows that the nature of the music, the song and fiddle tune books' contents, the paratext around the collections, its packaging, marketing and dissemination all document the social history of an era whose everyday music has often been dismissed as not significant or indeed, properly 'old' enough to merit consideration.
