Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Simile and Metaphor: In the English and Scottish Ballads The edition of the ballads used in the preparation of this essay is the well-known collection of Professor Francis J. Child, of Harvard University. This collection, entitled "English and Scottish Popular Ballads," was published in Boston in 1857-58, and contains in its eight generous volumes all the material needed for a paper of the present scope. The early edition of Professor Child, for various reasons, was used in preference to the new and somewhat larger edition which is just completed and which will surely become the abiding monument of ballad literature. In the first place, the new edition was unfinished until the bulk of the essay was in final form, and, more important still, that edition with its complicated system of including all ballads of the same nature under one general head paved the way to certain difficulties which, in the matter of reference, would inevitably lead to confusion. In view of this fact, it seemed permissible to use the older yet by no means unsatisfactory edition of 1857-58. The ballads in this early collection taken from Percy´s Reliques, I have carefully collated with the reprint of the Percy Folio MS., and none of the learned bishop´s interpolations have been allowed to stand among the figures quoted in the essay. The titles of the ballads mentioned in the text that follows, except in the few cases where specific reference is made to the Percy Folio MS., are given as they occur in the older Child edition, and the figures appended to the title in each instance refer, respectively, to the line of the poem, and the volume and the page of that edition.
