in an effort to collect folk songs of English origin, Karpeles was to travel to Newfoundland with famed folklorist Cecil Sharp, who died before the trips occurred. She instead visited the island in both 1929 and 1930 and traveled to many outports, collecting over two hundred songs, noting that "in Newfoundland the 'old' songs were fast going out of fashion" (Introduction). v. 1.
