Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Border Ballads AN eminent statesman is, reported to have said Let me make the ballads of a nation, and I care not who makes the laws. We echo the wish, for the ambition is a noble one. The human heart is a musical instrument, and like an Eolian lyre, waits the magic touch; and happy is that man who can stir and thrill its harmonic chords! Sweet is the influence of song! It awakens pleasant memories, and speaks to us of those who were, but are not. The Ballads of a country win us into a sym. Pathetic relationship with bygone times, and the spirits of the dead, - the heart of to-day beating in harmony with that of a ruder age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Border Crossings written by Lauren Clark and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borderlands, boundaries and frontiers are crucibles for diverse cultures and multiple alternative histories. Nowhere is this truer than in the debateable lands between nation states in what is commonly known as the British Isles. This collection takes the reader on an imaginative journey inside the borders, offering a fresh perspective on the liminality of these porous and contested terrains and the liminal peoples therein. Implicitly or explicitly, the contributors to this volume, in one way or another acknowledge that the term ‘borderland’ is imprecise, ambiguous and never neutral, and due to its liminal status, a crucible for multiple and competing identities. As the essays in this collection show, these borders don’t have to be geographical, but can extend to any cultural, psychic or social terrain which exists beyond or between accepted categories, power structures, nations or states. This collection concerns itself with Borders Theory in its multifarious manifestations from pre-history to the present day. Border Crossings draws together a number of key researchers in their respective fields and enables a dialogue between different disciplines and theoreticians. More generally, in its disciplinary and theoretical scope, the collection links with a number of other works, whilst its focus on England, Ireland and Scotland maintains its distinctiveness and addresses an area of comparative critical neglect.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scots trappers dominated the fur trade, often proving more loyal to clan than to trading company or nation. Relying on centuries of experience raising livestock for British markets, Scottish investors and managers became highly visible in the post-Civil War western cattle industry with thriving outfits such as the Swan Land and Cattle Company in Wyoming. They introduced new breeds to western ranching, such as the Aberdeen Angus, that remain popular today. Similarly, Scots herders dominated the western sheep industry, running herds of over 100,000 animals. Andrew Little's sheep ranch in Idaho was so famous that a letter addressed simply "Andy Little, USA" found its intended recipient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Food and Feast in Premodern Outlaw Tales editors Melissa Ridley Elmes and Kristin Bovaird-Abbo gather eleven original studies examining scenes of food and feasting in premodern outlaw texts ranging from the tenth through the seventeenth centuries and forward to their cinematic adaptations. Along with fresh insights into the popular Robin Hood legend, these essays investigate the intersections of outlawry, food studies, and feasting in Old English, Middle English, and French outlaw narratives, Anglo-Scottish border ballads, early modern ballads and dramatic works, and cinematic medievalism. The range of critical and disciplinary approaches employed, including history, literary studies, cultural studies, food studies, gender studies, and film studies, highlights the inherently interdisciplinary nature of outlaw narratives. The overall volume offers an example of the ways in which examining a subject through interdisciplinary, cross-geographic and cross-temporal lenses can yield fresh insights; places canonic and well-known works in conversation with lesser-known texts to showcase the dynamic nature and cultural influence and impact of premodern outlaw tales; and presents an introductory foray into the intersection of literary and food studies in premodern contexts which will be of value and interest to specialists and a general audience, alike.

Download or read book The Armstrongs written by Derek James Stewart and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Armstrongs were the number one “Riding” family on the Anglo/Scots Border during the 16th century. They were the most destructive of the Border reivers... and can arguably be called Britain’s worst ever family. The book follows two narratives... The first delves into the history of the Armstrongs; origins, where they lived, their society and how they survived across a violent frontier... The second narrative is a gazetteer of family biographies – A who’s who of raiders and marauders based on court cases and criminal trials. Tales of ransom, murder, arson, blackmail and theft are explored, drawing out the family’s story during this unique period.
