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.
