Excerpt from Scripscrapologia: Or Collins's Doggerel Dish of All Sorts Word-craft, who when he has hatch'd a jingling Couplet, feels it as much as he can do, to spell it and put it together, and who can say, with much more Truth than the Author of a certain Farce.

This study offers a radical reassessment of a crucial period of political and cultural history. By looking at some 400 songs, many of which are made available to hear, and at their writers, singers, and audiences, it questions both our relationship with song, and ordinary Britons' relationship with Napoleon, the war, and the idea of Britain itself.
