Product Description

Review

"...a most welcome reissue of an important volume which appeared first in 1993, and subsequently won the prestigious Katherine Briggs Folklore Award." --Folk Music Journal, 9:10 (2010)

"A controversial book updated after several years out of print - formidable... fascinating and revealing." --Mojo, January 2011 - 4 stars

Product Description

This history of the English folk revival argues that the existence of the revival is a direct and urgent response to a cultural crisis caused by the pressures of industrialization and urbanization. This work was the winner of the Katherine Briggs Folklore Award, 1993. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Imagined Village 20 Oct 2003

By Fay

Format:Hardcover

This is the first academic book I have read dealing solely with the revival of traditional music in Britain. It details the historical happennings and throws up, sometimes controversial, opinions and questions. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it gave me plenty to think about, but it was quite hard work!!!
