How do we know what we know about chanties? Beginning with the earliest sources, this book traces the history of writing about chanties - exploring the layers of discourse that have developed as authors and collectors have relied on, borrowed from, and contradicted those that came before them - creating an indispensible guide to the primary authors and sources through a century and a half of chanty literature.
