I am just starting to research/write a thesis on Irish Street Ballads. I am
focusing on ballads printed by P. Brereton, of Lower Exchange Street in
Dublin, between 1867 and 1869. The library here at the University of
Txas at Austin has a home-made collection of 108 of his ballads (all
full of typographic errors). Have you seen any of the ballads he printed?
Do you know anything about him? Does he have a reputation among those
who study ballads? Is he entirely unkonwn? ANY information would be
helpful.
Thank you!
