Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Ballads: Published in England During the Commonwealth Our little volume contains those most worthy of being reprinted among the Political Ballads which issued from the press during the agitated period from the Civil Wars to the Restoration. It will be seen that they belong chiefly to two distinctphases of the great political struggle, and they may therefore be conveniently arranged in two divisions. The first relates to the period between the close of the Civil Wars (when Charles the First fell into the hands of the victorious parliament) and the king's execution. During this period, the intrigues of the royalists (from whom a large portion of these ballads emanated) were more dangerous to the safety of the parliament than their arms had been in the field. Charles ruined himself by his dishonest evasions and his indirect and underhand mode of acting. The following ballads Show that even the royalists themselves were convinced of the sincerity of the parliament ary leaders in the intention of restoring the king on conditions which should effectually guarantee their liberties; yet they were in the mean time busy fomenting jealousies between the two great parties of the Independents and the Presbyterians; and the king with singular fatuity received the prepo sitions of the parliament with one hand, and de clared almost publicly his treacherous intentions with the other. The parliamentary leaders soon saw that the restoration of the king must be the signal of their own ruin, and they perceived at the same time that, so long as he lived unrestored, the state could hope for no tranquillity - they then resolved to bring him to the block. The second portion of these ballads relates to a posture of affairs which in many respects bore a close resemblance to the former. The powerful hand of Cromwell no longer kept in control the rage of partyism; his son Richard had been obliged to retire from the scene and the contend ing parties in the restored Commonwealth made room for the renewed intrigues of the royalists. Instead of a king at home and in captivity, there was one free, but in a foreign land. Most of the skilful hands who had guided the vessel of the state through so many troubles, were departed; and the man who became suddenly master by the chances of the moment, conscious of his own incapacity, and unable to foresee the future, be trayed the cause which he pretended to support, to secure his own personal impunity. The conse quenco was, after twenty-eight years of misgovern ment, the more effectual, though less bloody, revolution of eighty-eight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Child Ballads are traditional ballads from England and Scotland, collected and anthologized by Francis James Child during the second half of the 19th century. The collection contains examples from the 13th century onward. However, the majority of the ballads date to the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Although some have very ancient influences, only a handful can be definitively traced to before 1600. Child Ballads are heavier and darker than other ballads. The topics of the ballads are romance, enchantment, devotion, determination, obsession, jealousy, forbidden love, hallucination, the suppressed truth, supernatural experiences and deeds, half-human creatures, teenagers, family strife, the boldness of outlaws, authority, lust, death, karma, punishment, sin, morality, vanity, folly, dignity, nobility, and many others. They contain stories of national heroes like Robin Hood and mysterious creatures like elves and fairies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Songhunters is a pioneering history of the rediscovery of vernacular song—street songs that have entered oral tradition and have been passed from generation to generation—in England during the late Georgian and Victorian eras. In the nineteenth century there were four main types of vernacular song: ballads, folk lyrics, occupational songs, and national songs. The discovery, collecting, editing, and publishing of all four varieties are examined in the book, and over seventy-five selected examples are given for illustrative purposes. Key concepts, such as traditional balladry, broadside balladry, folksong, and national song, are analyzed, as well as the complicated relationship between print and oral tradition and the different methodological approaches to ballad and song editing. Organized chronologically, Victorian Songhunters sketches the history of English song collecting from its beginnings in the mid-seventeenth century; focuses on the work of important individual collectors and editors, such as William Chappell, Francis J. Child, and John Broadwood; examines the growth of regional collecting in various counties throughout England; and demonstrates the considerable efforts of two important Victorian institutions, the Percy Society and its successor, the Ballad Society. The appendixes contain discussions on interpreting songs, an assessment of relevant secondary sources, and a bibliography and alphabetical song list. Author E. David Gregory provides a solid foundation for the scholarly study of balladry and folksong, and makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Victorian intellectual and cultural life.
