Yet this genre-defining collection only became as influential as it did because of a broken promise seven years earlier. Katherine Jackson French, an accomplished musician and the second woman in history to earn a PhD, had been promised by Berea College to have her collection of ballads published in 1910. Unfortunately, they never followed through with this publication. A woman who perpetually lived with one foot in two worlds, French was a bridge between eras and regions, continually going back and forth between the world of the rural South and Northern academia. Had her volume been published in 1910, the crucial first impression of Appalachian balladry would have been drastically different. Katherine Jackson French: Kentucky's Forgotten Ballad Collector answers the many questions surrounding the life and work of Katherine Jackson French. In part one of the manuscript, author Elizabeth DiSavino shares French's life story for the first time in its entirety. The second half of the manuscript is devoted to the discussion and analysis of French's ballads. The first section relates the history of French's interest and beginnings in the genre, the next details her attempts at publishing her collection of ballads, and the final chapter compares her ballads with those published in Campbell and Sharp's compilation. DiSavino concludes the manuscript with the claim that, had French's work been published at Berea in 1910 as originally promised to her, the defining features of Appalachian folk music would look very different than they do today. Katherine Jackson French would likely have gone down in history as the mother of American balladry"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a French, Katherine Jackson, $d 1875-1958. 650 0 $a Ethnomusicologists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women musicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Musicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Ballads, English $z Kentucky $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Folk songs, English $z Kentucky $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women $z Southern States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Ballads, English $z Kentucky. 650 0 $a Folk songs, English $z Kentucky. 650 7 $a Ballads, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00825896 650 7 $a Ethnomusicologists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916185 650 7 $a Folk songs, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00929875 650 7 $a Musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030837 650 7 $a Women musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178182 650 7 $a Women $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176964 651 7 $a Kentucky. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204494 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 730 02 $a English-Scottish ballads from the hills of Kentucky. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6842822EBC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
