Richard Sheale, a harper and balladeer from Tamworth, is virtually the only English minstrel whose life story is known to us in any detail. It had been thought that by the sixteenth century minstrels had generally been downgradedto the role of mere jesters. However, through a careful examination of the manuscript which Sheale almost certainly "wrote" (Bodleian Ashmole 48) and other records, the author argues that the oral tradition remained vibrant at this period, contrary to the common idea that print had by this stage destroyed traditional minstrelsy. The author shows that under the patronage of Edward Stanley, earl of Derby, and his son, from one of the most important aristocratic families in England, Sheale recited and collected ballads and travelled to and from London to market them. Amongst his repertoire was the famous Chevy Chase, which Sir Philip Sidney said moved his heart "more than witha trumpet". Sheale also composed his own verse, including a lament on being robbed of 60 on his way to London; the poem is reproduced in this volume. ANDREW TAYLOR lectures in the Department of English, University of Ottawa."/><meta property="og:title" content="The Songs and Travels of a Tudor Minstrel"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=uj3aBbVG5IMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71YjlUkSjrI5Bfxq4Sgsac8AoJpjBeuX8dD4hX_k_C6197jBQpXMxy4UpcCjMHigbLUZCoNrpTTp8FTUilApk5hHzDOqwAX9oTT-XETGw9ZeoU50tmZT6bDSqsfY5p--WZfMgpr"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=uj3aBbVG5IMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71YjlUkSjrI5Bfxq4Sgsac8AoJpjBeuX8dD4hX_k_C6197jBQpXMxy4UpcCjMHigbLUZCoNrpTTp8FTUilApk5hHzDOqwAX9oTT-XETGw9ZeoU50tmZT6bDSqsfY5p--WZfMgpr"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3Duj3aBbVG5IMC%26dq%3DRichard%2BSheale%26pg%3DPA186%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=uj3aBbVG5IMC&dq=Richard+Sheale&pg=PA186&redir_esc=y&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

reconstruction of the life and works of a sixteenth-century minstrel, showing the tradition to be flourishing well into the Tudor period. Richard Sheale, a harper and balladeer from Tamworth, is virtually the only English minstrel whose life story is known to us in any detail. It had been thought that by the sixteenth century minstrels had generally been downgradedto the role of mere jesters. However, through a careful examination of the manuscript which Sheale almost certainly \"wrote\" (Bodleian Ashmole 48) and other records, the author argues that the oral tradition remained vibrant at this period, contrary to the common idea that print had by this stage destroyed traditional minstrelsy. The author shows that under the patronage of Edward Stanley, earl of Derby, and his son, from one of the most important aristocratic families in England, Sheale recited and collected ballads and travelled to and from London to market them. Amongst his repertoire was the famous Chevy Chase, which Sir Philip Sidney said moved his heart \"more than witha trumpet\". Sheale also composed his own verse, including a lament on being robbed of 60 on his way to London; the poem is reproduced in this volume. ANDREW TAYLOR lectures in the Department of English, University of Ottawa.","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PA208","order":224,"title":"208","h":857}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3Duj3aBbVG5IMC%26dq%3DRichard%2BSheale%26pg%3DPA186%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PA186","highlights":[{"X":464,"Y":138,"W":41,"H":12},{"X":99,"Y":152,"W":34,"H":10}],"flags":8,"order":202,"vq":"Richard Sheale"},{"pid":"PA195","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=uj3aBbVG5IMC\u0026pg=PA195\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U0gjSDaQQD2hDuxA486SF01mfVwFg"},{"pid":"PA196","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=uj3aBbVG5IMC\u0026pg=PA196\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U28DEv_x41c0n3-hkPKDcDHoy7x3w"},{"pid":"PA197","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=uj3aBbVG5IMC\u0026pg=PA197\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U0secYk-cOTArhXCsfGoTZsqjtr5w"}]},null,{"number_of_results":89,"search_results":[{"page_id":"PP1","snippet_text":"\u003cb\u003eRichard Sheale\u003c/b\u003e of Tamworth Andrew Taylor.
