	[EMLS 2.3 (December 1996): 1.1-34] Popular Hermeneutics: Monstrous Children in English Renaissance Broadside Ballads
		A broadside ballad from 1568 about a single monstrous child born in Kent provides a sharp contrast to the generality of the North Hamptonshire and Isle of Wight ballads discussed earlier; its explicitness and particularity have more in common with the 1565 Kent ballad.
		In this broadside ballad, monstrous children are part of an apocalyptic package, but they differ from the monstrous children presented in the earlier broadsides only in that they speak literally as well as figuratively--with words as well as their forms.
		These broadside ballads are just one of many media through which popular hermeneutics identified and interpreted the word of God and, therefore, placed the audience in the position of being both the text interpreted and the interpreters of that text.

	EMLS 9.2 (September 2003): 3.1-21 "He is turned a ballad-maker"
		That the ballads in A Handful are for the most part not included in the corpus of traditional ballads (determined by the aesthetic and theoretical assumptions of collectors) has led to their conventional treatment as lyric poetry rather than as broadside ballads-a label that would potentially reduce the cultural value of the poems.
		That the narrative action of the ballad highlights the ambiguity of the Jolly Beggar's social status (is he really a beggar or a "gentleman"?) further reiterates the permeable nature of class boundaries in the space of the ballad.
		One final example of attributing the broadside ballad to uncertain authors is the late seventeenth century poem entitled "A Ballad upon the Popish Plot written by a Lady of Quality." This authorial assertion is undercut by the inclusion of "by John Gadbury" under the title heading of the poem.

	Early Modern Whale: Two broadside ballads, 1652
		Broadside ballads had always allowed a broad range of robust sentiment, these two texts both have a transgressive spirit, stronger and truer than in most of the elite writing from which we so carefully refine it these days.
		At one point in the ballad a maximum of reversal is enjoyed: ‘He of me a service did crave / and often-times to me stood beare / In womans apparel he was most brave / and on his chin he had no hare’.
		Maybe quite a few copies of both these ballads were torn up by vexed readers, but it is pleasant to imagine a folded up copy being taken out of an apron pocket, and somebody starting to sing either ballad to listeners that she knew would approve.

	Broadside Electric : Press Materials : Articles : Broadside, March/April 2001
		Tom Rhoads and Jim Speer of the Electric folk group, Broadside Electric (no relation to this magazine) were nice enough to share some of their thoughts on the subject of murder ballads.
		The body of English/Scottish ballads is fairly gory in general, so I don't think we're way out of the mainstream.
		But I do think that murder ballads past and present are appealing in that they package disturbing events into the neat framework of a song, in which it can be dealt with as a finite piece of entertainment, rather than just a messy abstraction.

	Publisher’s Introduction: Madden Ballads From Cambridge University Library
		It traces the evolution of the broadside ballad from a simple printed sheet in the standard "old face" Caslon type to a large sheet containing several ballads in a decorative layout using fancy type, flowers and rules.
		Broadside ballads printed in the period up to and including the early eighteenth-century have received considerable attention from scholars since the mid-century.
		Such criticism is to some degree vitiated by reason that the broadside ballad is not a folksong (which by definition must have a tune) and thus scholars have almost always considered the broadside as a literary or sub-literary form which reflected the tastes of the broad mass of the population.
