1809174972London: printed and sold by Jennings c.1809. A ballad telling a tragic tale of lovers tricked apart by "cruel" and "covetous" parents. Similar ballads often feature an unfaithful and avaricious antiheroine who suffers a cautionary downfall. Here however Susan is a "harmless maid" and it is families who are warned against prioritizing wealth over the happiness of the younger generation. The love triangle between a woman her husband and a sailor was a common trope in 17th- to 19th-century ballads but most had several key differences to this version. The woman was normally the one to prioritize financial gain unlike Susan who declares that "No wealth nor riches shall make me disloyal". The sailor was typically a demonic character sometimes the Devil in disguise whereas "sweet William" is an honest and faithful man. In most ballads only the woman dies while the sailor-demon escapes; both Susan and William perish here. Such entertaining ballads were an outlet for people "to voice tensions to work over the contradictions of human life" Gammon p. 237. The Plymouth Tragedy reflects an exasperation with the requirements on the young especially women to conform with their parents' desires at the expense of their own happiness. Single sheet 255 x 360 mm printed in columns. Woodcut vignette. A little nicked at edges old centre fold reinforced on verso with paper; overall a well-preserved copy of a fragile publication.

1810174973London: printed and sold by J. Pitts c.1810. An ephemeral broadside ballad detailing the story of Jane Shore a mistress of Edward IV and a popular cultural reference for many centuries. Shore's heavily fictionalized story featured many elements considered to have mass appeal in the era: a sexually voracious woman a relationship that transcended social hierarchies and an ending that punished transgressive behaviour. In Mrs. Jane Shore the eponymous character is described as a married woman who became King Edward's concubine and "lived in the court/With lords and ladies of great sort". Whilst she had influence over the King she ensured "to help the people that were poor" and "sav'd their lives condemned to die". Regardless her infidelity ultimately led to her social disgrace and she died in a ditch in East London. As detailed in the ballad urban mythology claimed that her unfortunate death gave the Shoreditch district its name. Ballads such as this were sung in a variety of communal spaces including pubs lodging houses and the streets and typically took criminal or socially deviant behaviour as their subject. In their own time broadside ballads were believed "to foster immorality and to glorify crime" O'Brien p. 16. More recent interpretations appreciate their literary and social value and consider that "their job was to voice tensions to work over the contradictions of human life" Gammon p. 237. Landscape single sheet 362 x 252 mm printed in columns. A little chipped at the edges but overall a well-preserved copy of a fragile publication.
