Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American State Constitutions: A Study of Their Growth That saying of Andrew Fletcher, of Saltoun, two centuries ago, is still sometimes quoted: "That if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation." Whether this be not an extravagant statement, we need not now inquire. It may be conceded that the ballads, still more the folk-songs of higher degree, which find a permanent foothold in the traditions and the literature of a people, must leave their mark upon its character and even upon its institutions. Yet the name - Chansons de Geste, songs of action, or of what has been acted - given to such poems as the Spanish Song of the Cid, and its French parallel in subject and form, the Song of Roland, implies that the deeds of valor and the scenes of pathos whose memory they made immortal were the flower and the fruit of a national life already existing. They are an expression of that life, rather than the mould in which it was formed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
