Abstract
- The article focuses on the history of "The Diggers' Song," a song associated with a 17th-century English commune known as the Diggers, and its possible authorship. It discusses how the song was originally preserved in an anonymous and undated version, found in the papers of Sir William Clarke, a military administrator. The article also explores the potential authors of the song, including Gerrard Winstanley and Robert Coster, and their connection to the Digger movement.
