Book Description
First published in 1989. The ballad or romance, as it is commonly called, has played a vital role over the centuries in Hispanic culture as an orally transmitted narrative song. It is characteristically the product of people who have had to look to themselves for entertainment. From the end of the fifteenth to the early seventeenth century, the romancero (balladry) enjoyed a great vogue among learned poets and their audiences, especially in the Spanish and Portuguese courts. The authors’ intent in this book is to survey and to assess the state of the romancero, not only in Spain and Portugal, but also in peripheral areas where it has migrated and taken root.

The Perilous Hunt
Author: Edith Randam Rogers
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813194962
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
In the symbolic language of ballads, a lady's costly dress tells of the beauty of the body beneath it or of the wearer's happiness; a lost hawk or hound foreshadows the hunter's fate long before the plot reaches a turning point. In her original and far-reaching study of such familiar narrative elements, Edith Randam Rogers adds much to our understanding of poetic expression in the ballad tradition. In focusing on individual motifs as they appear in different ballads, different languages, and different periods, Rogers proves the existence of a reliable lingua franca of symbolism in European balladry. Lines or even whole stanzas that have defied interpretation often come to life when the reader is aware of the meaning of a particular motif in such an international vocabulary of images. Thus this book makes available important new critical tools sure to have significant results for ballad scholarship.

Author: Teresa Catarella
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 9780838753040
Category : Music
Languages : es
Pages : 278
Book Description
"Spanish Traditional Ballads from Aragon is a collection of 308 oral traditional ballads representing fifty-nine different text-types that author Michele S. de Cruz-Saenz collected on trips to 280 Aragonese towns and villages. In the course of her study, she interviewed 143 informants from seventy-five towns. They were men and women, ranging from illiterate to professional, whose ages were from ten to more than one hundred years. It was her intention to rescue this aspect of Spanish folklore, which is quickly disappearing in the wake of agricultural mechanization and modern technology. All of the informants shared her desire, and lent their enthusiastic collaboration in the preservation of Aragonese cultural identity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Anglo-American Ballad
Author: Dianne Dugaw
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317357809
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Originally published in 1995. This book’s collection of key essays presents a coherent overview of touchstone statements and issues in the study of Anglo-American popular ballad traditions and suggests ways this panoramic view affords us a look at Euro-American scholarship’s questions, concerns and methods. The study of ballads in English began early in the eighteenth century with Joseph Addison’s discussions which marked the onset of an aesthetic and scholarly interest in popular traditions. Therefore the collection begins with him and then chronologically includes scholars whose views mark pivotal moments which taken together tell a story that does not emerge through an examination of the ballads themselves. The book addresses debates in tradition, orality, performance and community as well as national genealogies and connections to contexts. Each selected piece is pre-empted by an introductory section on its importance and relevance.
