Reviews

An excellent book, thoroughly well thought out and compellingly argued, with a wealth of insightful, and often genuinely revealing, close reading coupled with a masterful command of the secondary literature. -Stephen C. Behrendt, University of Nebraska<br><br> In contrast to recent books that focus on the artistry and historiography of balladry in the Romantic period, and in a style that is admirable for its lucidity and precision, this new book argues cogently that the themes of nationalism and, in the book's outstanding conclusion, anti-nationalism constitute arguments about the changing nation in which these ballads were wrought. -Terence Hoagwood, Texas A&M University.
