DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Compiled in the 1800s, "The Political Songs of England: From the Reign of John to That of Edward II" is a collection of songs that was almost lost to history. Reading the lyrics of these songs is an integral part of any look into British history. The songs portray the sentiments of the general population at the time in a way that few other mediums can manage. Though it's possible that the individual songs may have survived on their own, the ability to read them all in one text is truly fortunate.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Political Songs of England: From the Reign of John to That of Edward II.; Edited and Translated Few historical documents are more interesting or important than the contemporary Songs in which the political partizan satirised his Opponents and stirred up the courage of his friends, or in which the people exulted over victories gained abroad against their enemies or at home against their Oppressors, or la meated over evil counsels and national calamities. Yet, though a few specimens have been published from time to time in collections of miscellaneous poetry, such as those of Percy and Ritson, and have never failed to attract attention; no book Specially devoted to ancient Political Songs has yet appeared.
