Scott Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2009 - 557 pages The research presented in this volume is very recent, and the general approach is that of rethinking popular musicology: its purpose, its aims, and its methods.

The essays have been written with a view to helping graduate students with research methodology and the application of relevant theoretical models. The Ashgate Research Companion is designed to offer scholars and graduate students a comprehensive and authoritative state-of-the-art review of current research in a particular area.
