Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Ballad Poetry Since the days of Allan Ramsay there have been published many admirable collections of Scottish ballads. Some of these, such as the collections of Jamieson, Buchan, and Kinloch, have had for their intention the preservation of ballads or versions of ballads previously unpublished. Others, like the collections of Chambers and Aytoun, have contained avowed collations of the different versions of ballads already printed. The present volume follows another plan. Collated versions remain always unsatisfactory, the distinct character of the ballad as handed down by tradition being invariably weakened by the modern touch, and the fresh charm spoilt by the smell of the lamp. They are, besides, unnecessary, the best version in every case equalling the best collation, and more than making up by vivid strength and truth for what it may appear to lack in multiplicity of detail. A comparison has accordingly been made of all the original versions of each ballad, and in every case what has appeared to be the best version has been printed faithfully without alteration. The volume is an attempt to furnish, in authentic form, a collection of what is finest in the ballad poetry of Scotland. Ballads by recognised poets like Henryson, James V., and Motherwell have not been included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Scottish Ballad Book (RLE Folklore) written by David Buchan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular appeal of the ballad is perennial, and few literary genres give so much pleasure to so many kinds of people. This anthology, first published in 1973, is drawn from the richest ballad tradition in Britain, that of the Northeast of Scotland. It provides a fresh and original choice of songs that ranges from the old ballads like ‘Gil Brenton’ and ‘Willie’s Lady’ to the bothy ballads like ‘The Tarves Rant’. The collection illustrates the development of a tradition over the centuries from the oral stage down to the modern, and exemplifies the methods of composition and transmission, the kinds of ballad-story, and the types of ballad-text found in the various stages of a ballad tradition. It illustrates the variety of subject matter, and indicates lines of relationship with other genres of Folklore Studies. A substantial section, containing what are widely acknowledged as the best of all British ballads, the oral ballads of Anna Brown, demonstrates clearly that the ballads are not merely simple or crude poems; in their oral form, they are narrative songs of some complexity and sophistication. This anthology is complementary to Dr Buchan’s The Ballad and the Folk.

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.
