Singing together is a tried and true method of establishing and maintaining a group’s identity. Identity, Intertextuality, and Performance in Early Modern Song Culture for the first time explores comparatively the dynamic process of group formation through the production and appropriation of songs in various European countries and regions. Drawing on oral, handwritten and printed sources, with examples ranging from 1450 to 1850, the authors investigate intertextual patterns, borrowing of melodies, and performance practices as these manifested themselves in a broad spectrum of genres including ballads, popular songs, hymns and political songs. The volume intends to be a point of departure for further comparative studies in European song culture.

“Identity, Intertextuality, and Performance in Early Modern Song Culture is a welcome addition to our knowledge of the arena of communication in early modern Europe. The book is a groundbreaking foray into a very promising field.” - Daniele V. Filippi, University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland and Academy of Music, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, in: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 4, No. 3 (2017), pp. 511-513 [DOI: 10.1163/22141332-00403007-08]
“Identity, Intertextuality, and Performance in Early Modern Song Culture celebrates excellent research on and compilation of early European songs. The collection never pretends to be exhaustive, however, for each chapter explains what further research could and should be done. For that reason, the book is incredibly significant to researchers who are looking not just for answer, but also for further questions.” - Deana Smid, Brandon University, Canada, in: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 49, No. 1 (Spring 2018), pp. 182-185
