Book Synopsis English Popular Ballads by : Walter Morris Hart
Download or read book English Popular Ballads written by Walter Morris Hart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Popular Ballads: Edited, With an Introduction, Notes, and Glossary Chronology has been disregarded; the groups, and within the groups the ballads themselves, have been roughly arranged according to the relative complexity and elabora tion of the narrative art. For this there are two reasons, one pedagogical, the other scientific. For the student, it is desirable to begin with the briefest and simplest ballads and to proceed to the longer and more complex. So arranged, the ballads may form also a natural and an admirable intro duction to the study of the narrative art. They will, more over, be more easily remembered, than if, for example, they were printed in what might be conjectured to be the chrono logical order. It happens also that in the present collection most of the linguistic difficulties occur toward the end of the volume. Moreover, from the scientific point of View an' arrangement based on stage of development may conceiv ably be of value as an introduction to the problem of liter ary evolution and to the problem of the beginnings of poetry. These matters have, it is true, been hitherto mainly the concern of specialists; yet both have great human inter est and the general reader may well have some curiosity in regard to them. Certainly they stimulate reading and appreciation. In the Introduction an attempt has been made to trace the development of the narrative art from the simple ballad of situation to the popular epic of Robin Hood, from the m'anner of the ballad par excellence, the ballad of the multi tude, to the manner of a rudimentary poetry of art, the poetry of the individual poet. Typical ballads are analyzed, and, incidentally, compared with the poetry of art. An attempt is made, finally, to interpret the results in the light of Professor Gummere's theory of communal origins.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 2 The ladies were still waiting dinner, un conscious of what was coming. Gawain was sent to require their presence, and he simply told them that the magnificent mantle was to be given to the one it best fitted. The king repeated the assurance, and the queen, who Wished much to win the mantle, was the first to try it on. It proved too short. Ywain sug gested that a young lady who stood near the queen should try. This she readily did, and what was short before was shorter still. Kay, who had been making his comments unguard edly, now divulged the secret, and after that nobody cared to have to do with the mantle. The king said, We may as well give it back; but the varlet insisted on having the king's promise. There was general consternation and bad humor.

Download or read book A Book of Ballads written by Guido H. Stempel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Ballads: Old and New A ballad is a song that tells a story. Of the ballads in this book, some have been handed down by oral tradition, some are the productions of known poets. The traditional ballads belong to popular or folk poetry, the others to the poetry of art. Traditional poetry differs greatly from artistic poetry. People of to-day who read such poetry for the first time, are apt to feel that it is inferior and even without merit. But when they know it better, they realize that it is in some ways more beautiful and interesting than the polished work of literary artists. This is a discovery that students need to make for themselves. It is to help them make it that this little book is presented to them. The best way is to read ballads, to read them aloud, over and over again, to learn them by heart, if possible to sing them.* But it may help the student somewhat if he knows beforehand some of the peculiar features of popular ballads.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Ballads by Living Authors, 1850 Augustan age, and was accordingly stilted into an eclogue in decasyllabic couplets. The age acknowledged no excellence in what was not imitated from classical models, as it designated distorted French casts of them. For the bag-wigs, buckles, and liveries of the Westminster dormitory differed not more from the pallia and tunics of the Ludi Megalenses, than Racine and Corneille from Sophocles and Euripides. Yet did English Poets receive law from Versailles while they imagined they were inspired from Parnassus, and allowed no existence to any other inspiration. Among the few poets of the last age, it would not perhaps be possible to name one beside Thomson, Collins, and Gray, whose inspiration was quafi'ed from the pure founts of antiquity: and the rest are neither numerous nor conspicuous enough to warrant the conclusion that contempt of ballad literature results from the ascendency of a purer and loftier poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English and Scottish Popular Ballads: Selected and Edited for Study Under the Supervision of William Allan Neilson, Professor of English, Harvard University The present volume is designed to meet the needs of a less advanced class of students than is provided for in the comprehensive collections of the late Pro fessor Child or in the edition by Kittredge and Sargent in the Cambridge Poets series. Those great sources of material and illustration have been drawn upon, as was inevitable, with great freedom; and this selection is to be regarded as an introduction which, it is hoped, may allure students to a more exhaustive study of the subject. With this end in view, the attempt has been made to lay solid foundations for the understand ing and appreciation of ballad poetry by making the selection representative, by refraining from any tam pering with the texts, either in spelling or in readings, and by supplying abundant references to works in which the study of ballads may be further pursued.

The authori ties of the Harvard College Library have shown the utmost courtesy; Professor Kittredge has helped the editor in revising the proof-sheets of the Introduction, and for the Glossary and Notes has not only given the same generous service, - a service valued best by those who know his command of Middle English, -but has made a number of important suggestions; while Pro fessor Child, in addition to the sympathy and encourage ment of which he is so prodigal, has kindly looked through the proof-sheets of the Glossary.

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.
