Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Folk-Song and Popular Poetry Mr. Williams's essays merit a few words of commendation from folk-lorists on this side of the Atlantic as being calculated to interest readers in a subject which is full of profound significance, but against which they may possibly be prejudiced in the degree that science claims it as material for analysis. For within the last few years folk-lore has been promoted to the rank of a serious study and the Folk-Lore Society of London, aided by its numerous and lusty offshoots, both American and Continental, is busily applying the scientific method to fireside tale, custom, song, and ballad seeking what old philosophies lie at the heart of these, and what they have to tell about intercourse between peoples in the past. Nevertheless, the folk-lorist treats his subject-matter as tenderly as Isaak Walton bade the angler hook his worm, for he remembers what poetry the song and saga hold, and that laughter and tears are ever young.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in the Study of Folk-Songs The folk -song probably preceded the folk tale. If we are to Judge either by early record or by the analogy of back ward peoples, it seems proved that in infant communities anything that was thought worth remembering was sung. It must have been soon ascertained that words rhythmically arranged take, as a rule firmer root than prose. As I do not know how to read, says a modern Greek folk-singer, I have made this story into a song so as not to forget it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Posy of Folk Songs In the Garden (An Old French Song) In a gay garden filled with flowers All days and hours, God formed man in His likeness, And gave him here Of love, wherewith his days to bless, A pledge most dear. Adam lay down in the sweet shade A lime tree made, Alone he lay on the green grass In quiet deep, When suddenly it came to pass He fell on sleep. There while he slept that Sovereign King The Angels sing, Took a rib gently with all care, From out his side, And formed a flower, a woman fair, To be his bride. Adam awoke in pride and joy, Without alloy, "Behold her there, bone of my bone, O God above, Give her to me, no more alone, She whom I love."

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Interest in Folksong and Folklore in America The evolution of interest in folklore may be called an undercurrent in the literature of the eighteenth century, first, brought to the surface by the attention which Addison gave to popular poetry. Its deepest and most significant expression is found in Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, published in 1765. This interest in popular poetry goes hand in hand with the revolt against the superculture of the age and the rise of a new conception of nature as an antidote for the evils developed by this overconscious civilization.
