"This deeply researched collection offers a comprehensive introduction to the eighteenth-century trade in street literature--ballads, chapbooks, and popular prints--in England and Scotland. Offering detailed studies of a selection of the printers, types of publication, and places of publication that constituted the cheap and popular print trade during the period, these essays delve into ballads, slip songs, story books, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high literature."--
