Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Rhymes of Devon: Notices of the Metrical Sayings Found in the Lore of the People Perhaps not the least curious fact connected with folk rhymes is that their authors are never known. We recognise that the ideas and belief enshrined in them were of spontaneous growth, but there must have been a time when these were first clothed in the garb in which they have become known to us. But in no instance are we told by whom this was furnished. In the case of rhymes of general application, which, with a simple change in the names of places, occur in different parts of the country, this is not surprising, for here it would be impossible even to determine the locality in which a saying originated; but when such is purely local we might expect that, in some cases at least, the name of its framer would be remembered. But it is not so; we find the rhyme existing, but of its parentage nothing can be gathered. Folk rhymes that are strictly local are found less frequently than might be imagined. Many appear to be so, but upon investigation it will be discovered that they have their counterparts in other places; that variants of them exist in many counties. This, although it may sometimes be disappointing to the student of local lore, is nevertheless a fact not wanting in interest, for it proves that the same ideas on certain subjects possessed the minds of men, though they might be scattered over a wide area. Even if we imagine the rhyme to have been transplanted, as it were, from one district to another, which in very many instances undoubtedly was the case, it does not alter this. Those to whom the rhyme came must have possessed the idea it conveyed before it did come to them, or they would not have so generally adopted it. It is on this account impossible to bring together the folk rhymes of any particular county without including in the collection many that also pertain to others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Late Victorian Folksong Revival: The Persistence of English Melody, 1878-1903, E. David Gregory provides a reliable and comprehensive history of the birth and early development of the first English folksong revival. Continuing where Victorian Songhunters, his first book, left off, Gregory systematically explores what the Late Victorian folksong collectors discovered in the field and what they published for posterity, identifying differences between the songs noted from oral tradition and those published in print. In doing so, he determines the extent to which the collectors distorted what they found when publishing the results of their research in an era when some folksong texts were deemed unsuitable for "polite ears." The book provides a reliable overall survey of the birth of a movement, tracing the genesis and development of the first English folksong revival. It discusses the work of more than a dozen song-collectors, focusing in particular on three key figures: the pioneer folklorist in the English west country, Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould; Frank Kidson, who greatly increased the known corpus of Yorkshire song; and Lucy Broadwood, who collected mainly in the counties of Sussex and Surrey, and with Kidson and others, was instrumental in founding the Folk Song Society in the late 1890s. The book includes copious examples of the song tunes and texts collected, including transcriptions of nearly 300 traditional ballads, broadside ballads, folk lyrics, occupational songs, carols, shanties, and "national songs," demonstrating the abundance and high quality of the songs recovered by these early collectors.
