Summary: "English Folk-Song and Dance" by Frank Kidson and Mary Neal is a scholarly examination of the traditions surrounding English folk songs and dances, written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the cultural significance, definitions, origins, and collections of folk songs and dances, exploring how these art forms have been transmitted and transformed over time. Both authors aim to elevate folk music's status and highlight its integral role in the fabric of English cultural heritage. At the start of the work, the authors introduce the concept of folk song through historical perspectives, notably invoking Joseph Addison’s admiration for such music as an expression of communal sentiment and artistry. They argue for folk songs as vital cultural artifacts, reflecting the values and experiences of the people who create and perpetuate them. The opening chapters touch on how folk songs arise from the needs and lives of the folk, their communal nature, and the changes they undergo as they are passed down through generations, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the various types of folk music and their place in English society.
