Book Description
Excerpt from Old English Ballads Unlike the earlier collections of ballads, this little volume is offered to the public without apology for the poems; they have long since established themselves in the body of our literature. Many teachers, however, have been unable to put them into the hands of their pupils for want of a cheap yet faithful text, and this edition is offered in the hope of answering such a need. The little trouble necessary for mastering the somewhat antiquated forms of the language will be amply repaid by the fuller knowledge that will be gained of the real thought and feeling of our ancestors. I am indebted to Professor Frederick Tupper, Jr., of the University of Vermont, for many valuable suggestions.

Some Old French and English Ballads (Classic Reprint)
Author: Robert SteelePublisher:
ISBN: 9781332197668
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Excerpt from Some Old French and English Ballads The Ballad Poetry of a country is its most characteristic and its most enduring contribution to the romantic movement. Literary Romanticism has now swayed all currents of thought, again been banished in favour of classicism and formality, and once again triumphed, but through it all the love, the wonder, the terror, the imaginative spirit of these songs have been the unfailing refuge of the many from the narrowness of life, the inexhaustible source from which literature has at each renaissance drawn renewed strength and vigour. The little selection of some score of French and English Ballads now printed is perhaps the more representative of the popular poetry of the two countries, because it is not wholly anonymous or wholly popular. A poem, a folk-tale is not truly representative of its country until it can pass freely from cottage to palace, welcome alike and claiming kinship in either. The song which takes its rise among the people must be resung by the poet before it has lost its dross, the poet's composition must be censored by the million before it appeals to that universal element to which all great work is addressed. Simplicity, nobility, and the fortunate chance which says the unexpected right thing - all these must come together.
