Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Latter-Day Ballads Professor Seeley has recently remarked that worth and brevity are the two things necessary to insure immortality to any literary production. The latter of these two qualifications belongs peculiarly to the ballad, and it is not therefore strange that good ballads have outlived other equally meritorious but more pretentious poetry. Of the old ballad poetry there are many excellent editions, notably that edited by Mr. Allingham and published in the ´Golden Treasury´ series. Mr. Stoddard, in his ´Ballads and Romances,´ has included not only the older and modern authors, but a species of composition which, as the title of the volume implies, does not come under the head of ballad poetry. The present volume is intended to occupy a place of its own, in that it is devoted exclusively to ballads, and includes only those which have been published within the last thirty years (1858-1888).
