Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Further Essays on Border Ballads In writing the following essays my object has been to determine on the genuineness, or otherwise, of four well-known Border ballads. Three of these, namely, the so-called Scottish version of the ballad of the ´Battle of Otterburn,´ ´Auld Maitland,´ and ´Kinmont Willie,´ were published for the first time by Sir Walter Scott in the Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border; the fourth was known to but not published by Sir Walter, who for some reason preferred to place in his work what was clearly a later version. ´Auld Maitland´ and the ´Battle of Otterburn´ have frequently been quoted by our great writers as extremely interesting instances of traditions of historic incidents having been handed down orally, in the shape of verse, through very many generations, and so also has ´Kinmont Willie,´ though, of course, the interest therein is of less degree, since it relates to comparatively modern times.
