Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Home Ballads and Metrical Versions The following verses were composed at long intervals, and are of unequal merit. A few of them appeared several years ago in "The Independent," "The Messenger" and other periodicals; but the greater number were written for "The Guardian," a religious magazine which was for some time edited by the author. In composing the historical pieces the writer was conscious of a desire to honor the memory of several of our almost forgotten pioneers, and at the same time to indicate a way by which our rich stores of legend and folk-lore might be employed for literary purposes. Though these ballads are chiefly of local interest, there are friends who will be pleased to see them in this collected form. The metrical versions were originally intended to form part of a series in illustration of the minor German poets of the present century. It will, therefore, be observed that the examples have not generally been selected from the great classic poets, of whose best works there are many versions, but rather from writers whose poems, though less famous, are to the Christian reader, at least, hardly less charming.
