Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Border Ballads In making this Book of Ballads the Editor has chiefly relied on the admirable collection of Professor Child. - (Boston, U.S., four volumes published out of eight.) Professor Child has had access to Motherwell´s and other MSS., and his Notes and Variants are of the utmost value. His earlier work, English and Scottish Ballads (London, 1861, 8 vols.), has also been consulted. Of older collections the Editor owes most to The Border Minstrelsy (4th Ed., 1810), to Motherwell´s Minstrelsy (Glasgow, 1827), Ayton´s Ballads of Scotland (Edinburgh, 1859), Pinkerton´s Select Scottish Ballads (London, 1783), Jamieson´s Popular Ballads (Edinburgh, 1806), Chambers´s Popular Rhymes of Scotland (Edinburgh, 1842), Messrs. Hales and Furnivall´s reprint of the Percy Folio, the Edinburgh reprint of Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe´s Ballad Book(1823-1880), and Mr. Allingham´s Ballad Book in the Golden Treasury series. The Notes are intended to illustrate the diffusion of ballads in Europe, and to clear up some points of Border topography. They are by another hand. The Ballads in this collection are, for the more part, English and Scotch narrative Volks-lieder. Lyrics, even when "popular" and of ancient and unknown authorship, are seldom introduced.
