Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballads of Ireland, Vol. 1 Periods of great excitement are unfavourable to the de velopment of letters, or the progress of civilization. History teems with illustrations of this truth. After the impetus given to English literature by Chaucer, its progress wasfcompletely checked by the civil contentions which succeeded. The Wars of the Roses threw English poetry back for two hundred years. We almost lose sight of it from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, when Surrey and Wyatt make their appear ance upon the silent stage. The troubled reigns of Henry, Edward the Sixth, and Mary, were also singularly barren of poetry. The vigorous policy of Elizabeth having quelled storms of those troublous times, national victory inspired the popular voice. Jeffrey, speaking of literature in the reign of James the First, says, it would probably have advanced still further, in the succeeding reign, had not the great nationhl dissensions which then arose, turned the energy and talent of the people into other channels - first to the assertion of their civil rights, and afterwards to the discussion of their religious interests. The graces of literature, he adds, suffered of course in these contentions, and a shade of deeper austerity was thrown over the intellectual chronicler of the nation. If the absence of civil rights or religious freedom, or the struggle for their assertion, be a barrier to intellectual pro gress, Ireland may well be poor in literature to-day. Indeed the wonder is, how she has even a literature at all, when we consider the proscription of her intellect. Her history is one ong series of warfare and disaster; and from the Battle of the Boyne to this hour, her energies have been absorbed either in struggles for religious liberty or in contests for political power. Even the dramatic literature of England has never re covered from the hostility of the Puritans. In 1642, it was enacted, that all stage-plays should be discountenanced. Theatricals were constituted a public offence, punishable by' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Broad-Sheet Ballads: Being a Collection of Irish Popular Songs There is a difference that is easily perceived between the street song and the song of the country-side. The second may contain some lonely thought, some personal emotion, but the first deals only with such passion, such humour, or such sentiment as the moving crowd can appreciate. It is easy to recall an example of either kind. Here is a song of the countryside: I'm a stranger to this countrie: From Amerikay I came; There's few here that knows me, But they can't tell my name. Some say I'm foolish, And more say I'm wise, And some say I'm guilty Fair maids to beguile. But we'll make them all liars If you'll come with me, To the Lands of Amerikay, My darling to be. In the middle of the Ocean May there grow a willow tree On the day I prove false To the lass that loves me. That the moon it may darken And show me no light The time I prove false To my own heart's delight About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The English Traditional Ballad written by David Atkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ballads are a fascinating subject of study not least because of their endless variety. It is quite remarkable that ballads taken down or recorded from singers separated by centuries in time and by hundreds of kilometres in distance, should be both different and yet recognizably the same. In The English Traditional Ballad, David Atkinson examines the ways in which the body of ballads known in England make reference both to ballads from elsewhere and to other English folk songs. The book outlines current theoretical directions in ballad scholarship: structuralism, traditional referentiality, genre and context, print and oral transmission, and the theory of tradition and revival. These are combined to offer readers a method of approaching the central issue in ballad studies - the creation of meaning(s) out of ballad texts. Atkinson focuses on some of the most interesting problems in ballad studies: the 'wit-combat' in versions of The Unquiet Grave; variable perspectives in comic ballads about marriage; incest as a ballad theme; problems of feminine motivation in ballads like The Outlandish Knight and The Broomfield Hill; murder ballads and murder in other instances of early popular literature. Through discussion of these issues and themes in ballad texts, the book outlines a way of tracing tradition(s) in English balladry, while recognizing that ballad tradition is far from being simply chronological and linear.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pictorial Book of Ballads, Vol. 1: Traditional and Romantic With regard to the sources from which its materials are derived, it may be sufficient to say here, that they are invari ably pointed out and referred to in the Introductory Notice pre fixed to each ballad; by reference to which it will be seen that not only Percy, Ritson, and such well known sources, have been resorted to, but some others not so accessible and familiar. For these, as far as the present volume is concerned, the Editor is principally indebted to the kindness of his friend, J. H. Dixon, Esq., an active and zealous member of the Percy Society, to whom he begs thus publicly to return his thanks for the warm interest he has ever taken in the success of the work, and the many valuable suggestions by which he has improved it.
