As I’ve mentioned recently, this is another network with which I’ve been involved. Last week, the new website of the Romantic National Song Network was launched – and yesterday, my contributed guest blogpost about a Scottish song – Afton Water – went live. It draws heavily on my doctoral research into Scottish song-collecting, but I like to think that my present interest in the wider context (collecting, publishing, curating) has also influenced my approach. I was certainly very glad of the National Library of Scotland’s Digital Gallery, which I can’t praise enough!
So here’s my blogpost:-
Romantic National Song Network – Scotland
