<p class="x_ContentPasted2" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">This lecture will consider the possibility that pop music began not in the 1950s, but in the 1590s (or thereabouts). Broadside ballads – sheet songs that sold for a penny a piece in early
modern England – were, arguably, the first form of commercially-driven popular music and also the cheapest form of literature available at the time. The talk will focus particularly on 120 ballads that can be identified as major hits of the period, asking
what it was about these super-songs that made them so successful and set them apart from thousands of other surviving ballads. We'll hear and see a range of songs, dealing with topics such as love, death, violence, religion and politics. </p>
