Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lancashire Lyrics: Modern Songs and Ballads of the County Palatine In the Preface to a former volume of "Ballads and Songs of Lancashire, chiefly older than the Nineteenth Century," a promise was given - should that book find favour - to publish another of the "Modern Songs and Ballads of Lancashire;" and, in fulfilment of that promise, the present volume is offered to the public. In the course of its preparation, however, it was found that its materials were too extensive to be compressed into a single volume. Moreover, they separated themselves, both in character and garb, into two broadly distinct classes. Most of the pieces in this volume are expressions of the deep affections and aspirations of humanity; and in elevation of thought and sentiment, no less than in rhythmical and poetic qualities, they are not to be classed with the ordinary street ballad. Many of them rise into the region of true poetry; and in this respect, it is hoped, the present volume may be accepted in refutation of the notion, especially rife at a distance, that Lancashire is altogether too hard, cold, and sterile a soil to bear kindly the flowers and blossoms of poesy. So far from this collection being an exhaustive one, the writings of many Lancashire authors of both sexes have, from various circumstances, been excluded. The pieces in this volume appearing to the Editor to be susceptible of some classification, he has thus arranged them: - I. Romantic and Legendary Ballads. II. Songs of Love and Praises of the Fair. III. Songs of Home and its Affections. IV. Songs of Life and Brotherhood. V. Lays of the Cotton Famine. VI. Sea Songs.
