"This book tells the story of how that poetry, with its sailors and admirals as folk heroes, became a driving force for morale, national identity and patriotism that would flourish until 1918."
The author also examines ballads of the period: Chap 3 is devoted to “Ballads of the Lower Deck: The Life of Jack Tar”. |
