Compiled in the 1800s, "The Political Songs of England: From the Reign of John to That of Edward II" is a collection of songs that was almost lost to history. Reading the lyrics of these songs is an integral part of any look into British history. The songs portray the sentiments of the general population at the time in a way that few other mediums can manage. Though it's possible that the individual songs may have survived on their own, the ability to read them all in one text is truly fortunate.
