Her book strikes a chord with debates about transatlantic and national cultures and local traditions. Mitchell's refrain - that folk music matters to post-war British history - is an important intervention and one historians will want and need to listen to. * Lawrence Black, Professor of Modern History, University of York, UK *\u003cbr\u003eJulia Mitchell’s new book provides a lively and informative history of the English folk revival, while also bringing a fresh and illuminating perspective to established debates about the politics of class, deindustrialisation, affluence and nostalgia. It is an assured account, which opens a series of profound and provocative questions about the interaction between different forms of identity, authenticity and popular culture in postwar Britain. * Emily Robinson, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Sussex, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations 1.
