Seller's Description:
James Hutcheson (Cover) Very good in Very good jacket. Format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.75 inches. [6], 223, [3] pages. Illustrations. DJ has subtitle of Scottish Folk, Scottish History. Ink note on fep. The People's Past is a striking and provocative tribute to the Scottish folk scene--past and present--covering a range of topics of interest to folk enthusiasts, scholars, and performers alike. This remarkable collection of essays grew out of the unique atmosphere created by the success of the first-ever Edinburgh International Folk Festival. A one day conference on the subject of The People's Past, designed to investigate the place of Scottish Folk in Scottish History was held. The contributors to this volume make no claims to be definitive or exhaustive in the treatment of their chosen topics. The Table of Contents, for the most part, includes: Editor's Introduction, Some Thoughts on the Folk Conference by Hamish Henderson, The Border Ballads by James Reed, Calvinism and the Survival of Folk by Edward J. Cowan, Traditional Music by Gavin Sprott, Eighteenth-Century Popular Protest by Kenneth Logue, Music and Song in Scottish Art by Duncan MacMillan, The Pipes and Folk Music by Hugh Cheape, Folk and Protest by Norman Buchan, the Folk Revival in Scotland by Ada McNaughton, and Folk Now by John Barrow.
