An important anthology, a scholarly thesis, and a very readable and interesting account for the casual reader. It is an essential book for ballad scholars. SCOTTISH STUDIES NEWSLETTER This is a splendid volume, one that contributes substantially to ballad scholarship, especially as it relates to a single singer's repertoire over time-in this case, the earliest singer for whom we have such detailed records. The book is also exemplary in its adherence to the highest scholarly standards, its careful analyses, and its attention to detail, not only as a work of scholarship but also as an example of bibliographic artistry.
