About This Book

A concise survey traces the rise, circulation, and transformation of chapbook publishing in Scotland, charting how itinerant pedlars spread broadsides and small tracts and how those cheap publications blended into later popular print. The author organizes and summarizes principal chapbook categories—humorous, instructive, historical, biographical, religious, manuals, almanacs, romantic, superstitious, and song collections—provides illustrative extracts and woodcut reproductions, and appends extensive biographical and bibliographical footnotes. Reference aids including an alphabetical list of titles, a glossary, and an index are included, while commentary emphasizes the social and cultural insights these ephemeral works offer into everyday life.
