Francis James Child (1825-1896) was to the traditional balladry of the English-speaking world what the Brothers Grimm were to fairytales. His edition of The English and Scottish Popular Ballads (1882-1898) has never been superseded: it is an invaluable resource for scholars in many disciplines, as well as for singers, poets and other writers. Marking the centenary of both the scholar and his work, this volume presents authoritative new research on his editorial practice, his correspondence with key contributors in the British Isles, and the heirs to the ballad research tradition which he established. Other groups of essays debate the aesthetic distinctiveness of the «Child ballads» and interpret them in relation to wide-ranging historical and contemporary cultural contexts. Up-to-date guides to bibliographic, archival and online research resources, and a select discography, are provided for the benefit of students and others approaching traditional narrative song for the first time.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Edition of an important collection of ballads, taken down in the eighteenth century from a female singer.It is generally acknowledged that no Scottish ballads are superior in kind to those recited by Mrs Brown of Falkland (1747-1810). Her ballads date from an earlier age and contain the themes and motifs of medieval romance and folktale, a world full of kings and queens, knights and ladies, love and betrayal and encounters with the otherworld. They are entirely from an oral tradition, passed down a female line of transmission from her mother, grandmother andaunts; they thus provide a unique glimpse into the collective memory of Scotland in the age of enlightenment. This edition presents Mrs Brown's collection entirely in the order in which she preserved it, prior to the intervention of (male) ballad collectors such as Walter Scott, Robert Jamieson and `Monk' Lewis. It provides the texts of all Mrs Brown's manuscripts; where a ballad is recorded in more than one version, it presents the different recensions in facing page format, enabling an easy comparison. Music from the original manuscripts is also given in modern notation. A full introduction and notes complete the volume. Professor Sigrid Rieuwerts teaches at SiegenUniversity.…

Price blacked out on rear cover. -- Several of the essays written in Bernhard Reitz's honour on the occasion of his 60th birthday consider the representation(s) of history in drama, others theorize on the past as the present or on history as a retro-scenario while still others look at the fictionalization of Shakespeare today. The range of perspectives on history and drama is astounding, with essays ranging from France on the English stage to Black American drama, from Sophocles' dramatic discourse to contemporary political drama, from historical pantomime to modern Scottish plays, from Strindberg to Contemporary British or American Theatre. This volume is not only focused on history and drama but also makes one important drama - W.E.B. Du Bois' Pageant The Star of Ethiopia - readily available for the first time. What makes this publication even more special is the number of original contributions from highly acclaimed British authors and playwrights. Howard Barker's 'Twelve Propo­sitions Already in Decay' and Michelene Wan­dor's 'History/Herstory' were especially written for History and Drama, while Julia Pascal's 'The London Patriots' is published here for the first time - in honour of Bernhard Reitz. -- Contents: 1.
