The research project is about the significance of ballads and song in eighteenth-century British culture--and the life of one particular Scotswoman, Anna Gordon Brown, who learned her ballads in the middle of the eighteenth century and was "collected" later in the century. This UROP involves research and bibliographic work in Boston libraries in addition to Harvard and MIT libraries. It means tracking down articles in musical and social history, historical sociology, anthropology, economic history, either to photocopy or to read and summarize; checking citations and quotations; reading microfilm; checking computer databases, etc.
