We make broadside ballads of the seventeenth century fully accessible as texts, art, music, and cultural records.



The @EMC_Imprint conference is underway celebrating EBBA's 20th anniversary! So excited for two wonderful days of events, panels, and keynote lectures that will take place here at UCSB: tinyurl.com/ebba-conference #broadsideballads #digitalhumanities #printhistory #earlymodernstudies

Well, the hopes of this broadside ballad were not to be... 'The Loyall Subjects Jubilee, or Cromwels Farewell to England, being a Poem on his advancing to Ireland, July the 11 1649.' @EBBA_Ballads @MuseumCromwell @Cromwells_House @17thCenturyLady @EnglishCivilWar


ICYMI: Here's the recording of the fascinating Song Studies Seminar on disaster ballads that we had yesterday: songstudies.org/song-studies-s… Featuring @CBFraoch, @LotteJensen14 and Siv Gøril Brandtzaeg. There's a big project starting, so get in touch for more info! @EBBA_Ballads

'IN a May morning as I was walking I heard two Lovers together talking...' This one is from @EBBA_Ballads, published 1674-1679. ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad/31503/c… #TradSongTues #MayMornings


A great broadside poem, as Dr Davis says, full of linguistic gold! This is an image of a copy of a slight edition variant held @britishlibrary estc.bl.uk/R226810 (there are two printed in London and one in Edinburgh) Those owning copies at the time must have treasured them!
