Political broadsides are a fascinating window on
to the tumultuous political and cultural
landscape of the seventeenth century. By turns
propagandist or satirical, these printed songs
informed and reflected the views of the broader
political nation. They took as their subject
matter political heroes and villains, war and
peace, and the divisions and harmonies of the
Civil War, the Interregnum, the Restoration, the
Popish Plot, the Exclusion Crisis and the Glorious Revolution.

This is the first truly accurate bibliography of
its kind providing correct publication dates for
many of the texts for the first time. The edition
will be essential for scholars of
seventeenth-century political and social history.
