Abstract
This paper analyzes three seventeenth century English ballads in order to understand the
complex factors that contributed to the views and understandings surrounding hair. It was
around this time that the view of men and women’s bodies as inversions of each other was
beginning to change. The construction of hair in the examined ballads supports the presence of
this change.
