Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old English Ballads The editor´s obligations for help in the making of this book are limited to three sources; but in each case it is hard to render adequate acknowledgement. The authorities of the Harvard College Library have shown the utmost courtesy; Professor Kittredge has helped the editor in revising the proof-sheets of the Introduction, and for the Glossary and Notes has not only given the same generous service, - a service valued best by those who know his command of Middle English, - but has made a number of important suggestions; while Professor Child, in addition to the sympathy and encouragement of which he is so prodigal, has kindly looked through the proof-sheets of the Glossary. Introduction, Notes and Glossary must speak for them selves; but a word is needed in regard to the Text. The ballads are intended to be representative both in range and in quality. In most instances the editor has selected what seemed to be the best text, although in one or two cases the best had to yield to the suitable. A few omissions were necessary; here and there, but not very often, combinations were made of different texts; and some unimportant substitution of words was allowed as between version and version.
