Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends, Ballads, and Songs of the Lee If welcome, then, to our own fireside, how thrilling to the heart of the exile must be the chronicles of home, if pining on the arid sands of India, or snowed up in a log-cabin through the long American winter, when the events of the Beautiful City and the legends of her sparkling river are brought before his vision; causing, at one moment, the merry ringing laugh at some quaint remembrance, or the silent tear of regret when he thinks, mayhap, of his distant home and the moss grown graveyard, where rest the bones of his venerated ancestors. If this little volume has accomplished but one-half the foregoing, what its writer sincerely wishes, he is repaid, and its mission is fulfilled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends, Ballads, and Songs of the Lee A good many of the Poems in this volume have already appeared before the public, in the local, metropolitan, and American journals, mostly with my own name attached, but in many instances with my peculiar nom de plume, and, I am happy to say, have been more than favorably received; yet, if the reader is not perfectly satisfied with them, he must take into consideration that they were written under peculiar disadvantages, namely, at the work-bench of an artizan, without time for that careful pruning which might make them more acceptable, and which other and better Poets enjoy. Working on my own account, and living by my trade, I could not much care for "invoking the Musesand, perhaps, they in revenge have had nothing to do with my Poems. There are one or two pieces inserted, which were written to please others, which do not quite express my natural sentiments. I will leave the reader to judge from the general character of all which are the Poems in question. I also beg to assure the public, that nothing was farther from my intention than to offend the prejudices of any creed or class. I am an enemy to injustice in any station of life, and have opposed it, and will do so, to the best of my humble ability. I have sought to mingle information with amusement in portraying the events of my native Cork as they actually occur, without any of the caricature persisted in by some writers.

Download or read book Songs and Ballads Classic Reprint written by Fanny Raymond-Ritter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Ballads Rather less than half the songs and ballads in the accompanying collection have already appeared in English and American periodicals and as some among these have been several times illustrated by composers, while to a few the compliment of translation has been accorded, their re-appearance here may not prove unwelcome to their former readers. Others now appear in print for the first time. Part of the transcriptions might be more truly termed free fan tasias (in musical parlance) on fragments, broken verses, of partially lost folk-songs; others, to which the authors' names are appended, are as true to their originals as befits translations that rather aim at preserving the spirit than the letter. With the exception of one or two of which I have seen English prose versions, and the Servian song, which Lord Lytton had already translated, these appear, I believe, for the first time in our language.

Download or read book American Myths Legends and Tall Tales 3 volumes written by Christopher R. Fee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 1842 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating survey of the entire history of tall tales, folklore, and mythology in the United States from earliest times to the present, including stories and myths from the modern era that have become an essential part of contemporary popular culture. Folklore has been a part of American culture for as long as humans have inhabited North America, and increasingly formed an intrinsic part of American culture as diverse peoples from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania arrived. In modern times, folklore and tall tales experienced a rejuvenation with the emergence of urban legends and the growing popularity of science fiction and conspiracy theories, with mass media such as comic books, television, and films contributing to the retelling of old myths. This multi-volume encyclopedia will teach readers the central myths and legends that have formed American culture since its earliest years of settlement. Its entries provide a fascinating glimpse into the collective American imagination over the past 400 years through the stories that have shaped it. Organized alphabetically, the coverage includes Native American creation myths, "tall tales" like George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree and the adventures of "King of the Wild Frontier" Davy Crockett, through to today's "urban myths." Each entry explains the myth or legend and its importance and provides detailed information about the people and events involved. Each entry also includes a short bibliography that will direct students or interested general readers toward other sources for further investigation. Special attention is paid to African American folklore, Asian American folklore, and the folklore of other traditions that are often overlooked or marginalized in other studies of the topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Song of Roland So much has been written on the origin and growth of legend, that it would be unpardonable to dwell upon the subject. Its cradle is the imagination, of an unlettered people. Their minds, like those of children, delight in marvels, and yield them an eager credence. First come ballads of rude and simple structure; new incidents, new personages are added year after year by the fancies of a hundred unknown bards, until it may come to pass, possibly after centuries, that this floating ballad-lore is seized on by the genius of some great poet, and, while faith in the legend as yet survives, is embodied in some immortal poem. Thus the ballad is crystallized into the epic. So was it with the Iliad; so, in their degree, was it with the early ballads concerning Charlemagne and his heroes.
