Our Subversive Voice establishes the protest song as a mode of political communication. Covering five centuries in England’s history, from street ballads and art song to grime, hymns, music hall, and punk, this book explores the causes that protest songs adopt, the conditions that give rise to them, and the institutions that have suppressed them.Publisher: McGill-Queens University PressAuthor(s): Matthew WorleyIllustration(s): 18 photosNumber of pages: 312Collection: McGill-Queens Studies in Protest, Power, and ResistancePublication date: 2025Dimensions: 159 x 237 x 28Cover type: Hardback
