Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballad Poetry of Ireland Three editions of this collection having been exhausted in less than a month, the publisher has called upon me to prepare a fourth; and with this object I have gone over it carefully, and expunged as many as I could detect of the original sins incident to early editions - errors of the press, of haste, and of carelessness. Something of this kind was done for the Third Edition but there was not leisure to do it carefully. It will now, I trust, be found tolerably free from errors of the class chargeable on an editor. The success of these ballads seems to me to give happy promise of a vigorous and national literature in Ireland. Ballads have been among the first home-grown productions of all countries and their popularity here now is no slight evidence that the national mind is still fresh and earnest, and has the impulses and propensities that belong to a young nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romances and Ballads of Ireland Tm: short space allowed for introductory matter in the twenty-third volume of this work, was devoted by me to an essay on the arrangement and nomenclature of minor poetry. A farther consideration of this subject has induced me to make some alterations in that arrangement. In this volume I republish the essay, with those alterations which a closer examination and more exact analysis have convinced me' to be necessary. The present volume contains Ballads and Romances poems of the fifth and sixth classes, according to the sub joined nomenclature. Of all the classes of minor poetry, the most interesting and valuable, in a national point of view, is the Romance. The people, whose heroic deeds, and noble thoughts, and graceful legends, are preserved in narrative poetry, of a high order, can never pass away from the world of the mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Mist Sunshine: A Book of Ballads Dollard moreover possesses the quality which alone is wanting among the perfections of the New Curate namely, a wholehearted sym pathy with the national yearning of his peo ple. The simple explanation to me at least of the dismal fate of all the more or less Angli fied New Curate's projects for conquering the inveterate stagnation of the village life around him is his failure to appreciate the as pirations which are the people's terrestrial breath of life and the political conditions which set young men either tippling with J em Deady, or learning the goose-step by moonlight under the command of the village tailor. Father Dollard understands the tailor as well as the tippler and sees perfectly how a healthy national enthusiasm could regulate the ex cesses of both and render Irish life as full of manly energy as it is of national charm and poetic sensibility. His lyrics have done very much indeed to discourage the unnatural He gira from their native land which has tempted such myriads of the race from their wholesome mountain glens into the contamination of the.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballads of Ireland, Vol. 1 Periods of great excitement are unfavourable to the de velopment of letters, or the progress of civilization. History teems with illustrations of this truth. After the impetus given to English literature by Chaucer, its progress wasfcompletely checked by the civil contentions which succeeded. The Wars of the Roses threw English poetry back for two hundred years. We almost lose sight of it from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, when Surrey and Wyatt make their appear ance upon the silent stage. The troubled reigns of Henry, Edward the Sixth, and Mary, were also singularly barren of poetry. The vigorous policy of Elizabeth having quelled storms of those troublous times, national victory inspired the popular voice. Jeffrey, speaking of literature in the reign of James the First, says, it would probably have advanced still further, in the succeeding reign, had not the great nationhl dissensions which then arose, turned the energy and talent of the people into other channels - first to the assertion of their civil rights, and afterwards to the discussion of their religious interests. The graces of literature, he adds, suffered of course in these contentions, and a shade of deeper austerity was thrown over the intellectual chronicler of the nation. If the absence of civil rights or religious freedom, or the struggle for their assertion, be a barrier to intellectual pro gress, Ireland may well be poor in literature to-day. Indeed the wonder is, how she has even a literature at all, when we consider the proscription of her intellect. Her history is one ong series of warfare and disaster; and from the Battle of the Boyne to this hour, her energies have been absorbed either in struggles for religious liberty or in contests for political power. Even the dramatic literature of England has never re covered from the hostility of the Puritans. In 1642, it was enacted, that all stage-plays should be discountenanced. Theatricals were constituted a public offence, punishable by' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Blarney Ballads written by Charles L. Graves and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blarney Ballads: With Illustrations Nearly all departments of Irish poetry are here represented, from the Bardic Ode to the Broadsheet. T/ze Arabian Knig/zt closely follows the metre of Mangan's Dar/e Rosaleen, in its turn a translation of a poem by an Irish bard of the Elizabethan era. Specimens of Convivial and Humorous Songs will be found in Ine Premise-éreaenes, based upon, and in some parts borrowed from, Party Molly Brallagnan in Came! To Me Classes, and in modernized versions of T/ze Groves of Blarney, Tne Bangs qf Mallow, and Ike Monés of t/ze Serew. The street ballad is represented by Tne Grana' Oala' Man, Tne Wearing of Me Blue, and Willy, I Hardly Knew Yon; while a chord of tenderer sentiment is struck in such pieces as Billy Maenree, - adapted from Gerald Griffin's Gil/e Maenree, - Tne Munster Maia', A Leap Year Male/i, and Waiting for Me Tia'e; the last mentioned being closely modelled on D. F. Mccarthy's Wailing for Me May. The originals of other pieces will be familiar to readers of Moore and Sheridan. Purists may resent such procedure as sacri legious in the extreme; but if it prompts them to consult the Celtic exemplars, the end will have justified the some what questionable means adopted. Some few of these ballads may lay claim to originality in form and sentiment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
