The first ever edition of The Tea-Table Miscellany, the seminal collection in defining eighteenth-century Scottish songDetailed examination of the musical archaeology for each of the songs, providing for the first time comprehensive antecedents for almost all the songs in this critical contribution to the establishment of a Scottish song 'tradition'Uniquely comprehensive survey of early sources for the tunes of Ramsay's songsDetailed collation of texts against all extant manuscript sources and relevant printed editions and comprehensive explanatory annotations offering new insights into Ramsay's cultural, historical, political, literary and theatrical contextsThis edition of The Tea-Table Miscellany is the first ever produced, bringing together the four volumes of this collection of songs published between 1723 and 1737. The Tea-Table Miscellany combines traditional Scottish song, works by Allan Ramsay and his contemporaries, together with material from D'Urfey, Playford and the English stage and broadside, in a collection of 399 songs. This edition offers, for the first time, annotations, background, and a study of origins for all the songs and tunes examining both Ramsay's categorisation of the authorship and origin of the song texts and tunes to which it was most likely he was referring. As such, the edition consists of a detailed introduction, the clearly presented song texts, notes on the songs that identify both their print and musical antecedents, musical illustrations that show major variations in the contemporary tunes with which the songs are associated, illustrations of the title pages, and the main design features and ornaments used in Ruddiman's original edition.

This book offers a detailed analysis of two major Scottish folk song collections, the Greig-Duncan Collection, and the Scots folk song material of the School of Scottish Studies Archives. This exhaustive study of song transmission includes all contributors, not only notable singers. The scattered information, marshalled into quantifiable data, throws light on such topics as transmission within and outside the family, the role of literacy, the public reticence of women singers, the association between the Travellers and the big ballads, and the impact of social changes in the late nineteenth century, and of broadcast music in the 1920s. The new opportunities opened up by digitisation are explored here for the first time.
