The very epitome of a Victorian polymath, Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was one of the most significant pioneer collectors of traditional songs in Britain and a huge influence on the development of the subject. Martin Graebe’s book is a rigorously researched and readable account of the man himself and the field which he helped to create.
