CHAPTER II THE MEDIAEVAL BALLAD AND THE DANCE If the ballad, whether defined as dance song or as narrative lyric, is not the archetypal poetic form, preserving the model of primitive song, if it did not originate, more specifically than other lyric verse, in the festal dance songs of primitive peoples, is it not, at least, to be associated with the dances or the dance songs of the Middle Ages? Such association is customary. The primary definition of the English ballad, in English dictionaries of the nineteenth century, is "dance song." The etymology of the name makes linkage of the ballad with the dances of mediaeval times practically inevitable. A few quotations will make clear the present state of opinion. The leading American writer on ballads in recent times, Professor E. J. Gummere, affirmed, "But there is neither hurry nor compact narrative in the real ballad, so named not because it was sung at a dance but because it was a dance, a dramatic situation, unchanged in bulk and plan, but shifting its parts in tune with these until a climax is attained." 1 According to Professor G. L. Kittredge, "It appears that there is no lack of characteristic traits... which justify the conjecture that the history of balladry, if we could follow it back in a straight line without interruptions would lead us.to a very simple condition of iDemocracy and Poetry (1911), p. 191. society, to the singing and dancing throng, to a period of communal composition." 2 Professor Henry Beers wrote, "It should never be forgotten that the ballad... was not originally a written poem but a song and dance." 3 More qualification characterizes the words of Professor Charles S. Baldwin, " They the ballads may have been originally dance songs with communal refrain...".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads and Ballad Poetry The study of ballads is a study in very plain and simple poetry. The word ballad is some times loosely used, but generally people under stand by it a poem written to be sung and telling a story. There are many poems written to be sung, hymns, for instance, and all kinds of every day songs, but these we do not call ballads. There are many poems which tell stories, but are written without any idea of being sung, like Evangeline, and these we do not call ballads either. But in the early days of literature poetry is commonly sung, or recited in something of a sing-song way, and it generally tells a story be cause in the early days people are more interested in stories than in other forms of poetry. As people grow more and more cultivated, their poems are written down so that they no longer have the character that comes from being written for'musio, and as time goes on people have wider mterests in literature and care for other things in poetry than stories. So ballads are common only in the early days of any literature, or if in later days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
