Download or read book The Romantic Scottish Ballads: Their Epoch and Authorship written by Robert William Chambers and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Percy, at the close of his copy of Sir Patrick Spence, tells us that 'an ingenious friend' of his was of opinion that 'the author of Hardyknute has borrowed several expressions and sentiments from the foregoing [ballad], and other old Scottish songs in this collection.' It does not seem to have ever occurred to the learned editor, or any friend of his, however 'ingenious,' that perhapsSir Patrick Spence had no superior antiquity over Hardyknute, and that the parity he remarked in the expressions was simply owing to the two ballads being the production of one mind. Neither did any such suspicion occur to Scott. He fully accepted Sir Patrick Spence as a historical narration, judging it to refer most probably to an otherwise unrecorded embassy to bring home the Maid of Norway, daughter of King Eric, on the succession to the Scottish crown opening to her in 1286, by the death of her grandfather, King Alexander III., although the names of the ambassadors who did go for that purpose are known to have been different. The want of any ancient manuscript, the absence of the least trait of an ancient style of composition, the palpable modernness of the diction—for example, 'Our ship must sail the faem,' a glaring specimen of the poetical language of the reign of Queen Anne—and, still more palpably, of several of the things alluded to, as cork-heeled shoon, hats, fans, and feather-beds, together with the inapplicableness of the story to any known event of actual history, never struck any editor of Scottish poetry, till, at a recent date, Mr David Laing intimated his suspicions that Sir Patrick Spence and Hardyknute were the production of the same author. To me it appears that there could not well be more remarkable traits of an identity of authorship than what are presented in the extracts given from Hardyknute and the entire poem of Sir Patrick—granting only that the one poem is a considerable improvement upon the other. Each poem opens with absolutely the same set of particulars—a Scottish king sitting—drinking the blude-red wine—and sending off a message to a subject on a business of importance. Norway is brought into connection with Scotland in both cases. Sir Patrick's exclamation, 'To Noroway, to Noroway,' meets with an exact counterpart in the 'To horse, to horse,' of the courtier in Hardyknute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romantic Scottish Ballads: Their Epoch and Authorship Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetiy, 1765 3 David Herd's Scottish Songs, 1769 3 Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, 1802 and J amieson's Popular Ballads and Songs, 1806, have been chie y the means of making us acquainted with what is believed to be the ancient traditionary ballad literature of Scotland; and this literature, from its intrinsic merits, has attained a very great fame. I advert particularly to what are. Usually called the Romantic Ballads, a class of compositions felt to contain striking beauties, almost peculiar to themselves, and consequently held as implying extraordinary poetical attributes in former generations of the people of this country. There have been many speculations about the history of these poems, all assigning them a considerable antiquity, and generally assuming that their recital was once the special business of a set of wandering conteurs or minstrels. So lately as 1858, my admired friend, Professor Aytoun, in intro ducing a collection of them, at once ample and elegant, to the world, expressed his belief that they date at least from before the Reformation, having only been modified by successive reciters, so as to modernise the language, and, in some instances, bring in the ideas of later ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pictorial Book of Ballads, Vol. 1: Traditional and Romantic With regard to the sources from which its materials are derived, it may be sufficient to say here, that they are invari ably pointed out and referred to in the Introductory Notice pre fixed to each ballad; by reference to which it will be seen that not only Percy, Ritson, and such well known sources, have been resorted to, but some others not so accessible and familiar. For these, as far as the present volume is concerned, the Editor is principally indebted to the kindness of his friend, J. H. Dixon, Esq., an active and zealous member of the Percy Society, to whom he begs thus publicly to return his thanks for the warm interest he has ever taken in the success of the work, and the many valuable suggestions by which he has improved it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flower O' the Vine: Romantic Ballads and Sospiri Di Roma In accordance with a courtly usage that is founded in common sense (as is the rule with courtly usages, though Democrats rail to the contrary) letters of intro duction are held to be a necessary portion of the equip ment of a gentleman who is about to set forth upon his travels in foreign lands. For the most part, to be sure, the traueller may go happily enough without such credentials and on his own merits maize for himself -supposing him to be truly gentle, and of a cordial quality - all the friends whom he desires by the way. But now and again - as in the case of some ill-bred fellow guestioning suddenly his antecedents - his letters will be useful to prove shortly to strangers that in his own country he is a person of condition and still more often will he find pleasure in exhibiting them, in proof of his worthiness, to those who frankly have given him their confident friendship without ashing for other evi dence of his merit than himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romantic Ballads and Poems of Phantasy IT is but fitting that I should dedicate this little booh to you, who have always had such sterling appreciation of imaginative literature. Lihe many' of our country folh who have been born or have lived much in the Scottish Highlands, we have, in common, the true Celtic passion for the weird and the supernatural, and for vividly romantic sentiment and action. That there is a Romantic Revival imminent in our poetic litera ture, a true awakening of the genuinely romantic sentiment, is my earnest conviction. Many things point to this frest-stim'ng stream of tendency. Among our younger artists there is a quichening of life, of emotion, even of passion, such as has not animated English art since the days of the endeavour of the Preraphaelite Brotherhood it may prove to be a flash in the' pan, or confined to rare individual aberration, but I th inh not.
