Synopsis
How do we know what we know about chanties? Beginning with the earliest sources, this book traces the history of writing about chanties, creating an indispensible guide to the primary authors and sources through a century and a half of chanty literature., How do we know what we know about chanties? Beginning with the earliest sources, this book traces the history of writing about chanties -- exploring the layers of discourse that have developed as authors and collectors have relied on, borrowed from, and contradicted those that came before them -- creating an indispensible guide to the primary authors and sources through a century and a half of chanty literature.
Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (644,234)
- r***m (227)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe condition of the book I received was exactly as described and the packaging used to ship it was chosen with care. My only issue was the cover of the book did not match the cover advertised (it was the correct book just an alternate cover design). I reached out the the seller to inquire about the cover mistake and without me even asking he refunded my purchase. Excellent customer service. I will donate the copy I received. Highly recommend this seller.
- 5***i (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGood overall experience. The book arrived in the condition described and even earlier than expected. The price and shipping were both very reasonable. However, the packaging could have been better, as it wasn’t very protective and the book ended up with a slightly bent corner from minor bumps during transit. Nothing major, but worth noting. Overall, a reliable seller, though with room for improvement in packaging.
- e***h (522)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGood seller, item description could have been better, more details, along with the packaging for shipping (hard cover book in just a bubblewrap envelope). There is a split across bottom of spine back that was not described, otherwise its in good condition. Fast shipping and the price was reasonable. Overall happy with purchase. Thank you.
