Abstract

Broadsides, chapbooks, and other small books carried across England and Scotland by itinerant pedlars were sold in the streets, at markets and fairs, and even door to door. They were also available from small retail premises or directly from printers. This chapter looks at one collection of 283 chapbooks made by Miss Elizabeth Davison in the Northumberland market town of Wooler during the early nineteenth century. These are predominantly song chapbooks, covering the full range of Napoleonic War songs, ‘Scotch songs’, alongside lyric, sentimental, and pastoral pieces, local and topical songs, folk songs and ballads, as well as other eighteenth-century narrative ballads. Their provenance shows that publications from Scottish printing centres outnumbered those from Newcastle and other English centres, indicating just how integrated was the cheap print trade in Scotland and the north-east of England. Davison’s collection, though empirically substantial, does not readily fit into a book trade model such as Robert Darnton’s ‘communications circuit’ because the cheap print trade seems to have been characterised as much by trial and error as by feedback mechanisms. The model put forward by Thomas Adams and Nicholas Barker, which concentrates on events in the life of a book, is more applicable.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The collection was accessioned into the British Museum on 26 August 1946 and under that date there is a record of payment of £12 to J.T. Owen for ‘3 volumes of 18th Century Ballads Printed in Scotland and Northumberland’ (British Museum 1946, DH5/129). Nothing further is known about the collection’s whereabouts between the time of Elizabeth Davison’s death in 1847 and its acquisition by the British Museum. My thanks to Jessica Gregory of the British Library Archives for this information. The 283 chapbooks—which include five duplicates, leaving a total of 278 different titles—are listed in this chapter’s Appendix. British Library shelfmarks are cited where specific chapbook texts are quoted below.

    The collection would lend itself to the analysis of English/British national identity at the street literature level, along the lines suggested by French 2011, although even a sample of 283 chapbooks would still be very limited in its scope, and also quite heavily weighted by the context of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

Appendix: Elizabeth Davison’s Collection of Chapbooks (London, British Library, 11606.aa.22–24)

This Appendix records the titles of the collection of 283 chapbooks bound into three volumes in the British Library, on which the above chapter, ‘Elizabeth Davison and the Circulation of Chapbooks in Early Nineteenth-Century Northumberland’, by David Atkinson, is based. The collection was formed, most probably during the first two decades of the nineteenth century and perhaps the last decade of the eighteenth, by Elizabeth Davison of Wooler, Northumberland, who died in 1847.

A chapbook was a small, cheap pamphlet comprising a single sheet of paper, folded to make a booklet of typically of eight or twenty-four pages. All the chapbooks in the Davison collection are of eight pages except where otherwise indicated. Titles and publication information are standardised as to punctuation and capitalisation. Note that publication information, variously provided in the form of an imprint and/or colophon, can be highly inconsistent with regard to places, dates, and printers’ names. In addition, some of the chapbooks have, instead of a conventional imprint, a form of wording such as ‘licensed and entered according to order’. This seemingly harks back to a time before the lapse of the Printing Act in 1695, but is found sporadically throughout the eighteenth century, especially towards its end. Currently, there is no single satisfactory explanation for this; it ought to mean that the title was entered in the Stationers’ Register, thus affording some degree of copyright protection, but that is not in fact the case. Some possible explanations involve: (i) a degree of print trade precedent; (ii) an attempt to make the pedlars’ wares appear more legitimate in the face of increased licensing and regulation of petty chapmen; and (iii) a response to the tense political atmosphere around the turn of the century and the introduction of the Seditious Societies Act of 1799.
