The invention of the printing press led to an explosion of cheap printed materials in the 16th and 17th centuries. Mass communication was now possible. Ballads were no longer limited to oral tradition, agitators no longer confined to the soapbox.
Frequently designed in "blackletter" gothic type and accompanied with distinctive woodcut illustrations, this dynamic, lively form encompassed the obsessions and characteristic humor of the times. The broadsides pasted on walls and disseminated among the masses, together with the written ballads hawked at street corners, represented the zeitgeist of popular culture in early modern Britain. This beautifully designed book highlights some of the most striking and amusing examples from the British Library's collections and provides brief commentary on the political and social background of the times.
