List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

• WALSH,John; The Compleat Country Dancing-Master; The 1718/9 editions (called here Series1) were "issued in the precise style of the later copies of Playford's ' Dancing Master ' ; the contents in fact were almost identical and no doubt intended to intercept the sale of the original," F.Kidson; Beginning again in 1731, Walsh issued a set of country dance books with 300 dances, two to a page(called here Series2). In the 1740s he started a new series of 204 dances, reusing many of the older plates in new sequences (called here Series3). He advertised the 6-book set in 1754. A fuller explanation is here at EASMES. This is a complicated and confusing series consisting of books, volumes, editions et al, briefly something like as follows...(and I know for sure there are inconsistences in this list, which I will gradually eliminate)
