Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 3 Upon concluding this Fourth Part, I have to express warm thanks to Mr james barclay murdoch for a punctilious recollation of motherwell's manuscript, and to Mr malcolm colquhoun thomson for again granting the use of the volume. Miss mary fraser tytler, to remove a doubt about a few readings, has generously taken the trouble to make a fac-simile copy of alexander fraser tytler's brown manuscript. Mr macmath, whose accuracy is not surpassed by photographic reproduction, has done me favors of a like kind, and of many kinds. Rev. Professor skeat, with all his engagements, has been prompt to render his peculiarly valuable help at the libraries of Cambridge; and Mr F. H. Stoddard, late of Oxford, now of the University of California, has allowed me to call upon him freely for Oopies and collations at the Bodleian Library. The notes which Dr reinhold kohler, Professor felix liebricht, Professor 0. R. Lanman, and Mr george lyman kittredge have contributed, in the way of Additions and Corrections, will speak for themselves. Miss isabel florence hapgood, translator of the Epic Songs of Russia, has given me much assistance in Slavic popular poetry, and lieutenant-colonel W. F. Pri deaux, of Calcutta, Mr frank kidson, of Leeds, and Mr P. Z. Round, of London, have made obliging communications as to English ballads.

This is the first book to combine contemporary debates in ballad studies with the insights of modern textual scholarship. Just like canonical literature and music, the ballad should not be seen as a uniquely authentic item inextricably tied to a documented source, but rather as an unstable structure subject to the vagaries of production, reception, and editing. Among the matters addressed are topics central to the subject, including ballad origins, oral and printed transmission, sound and writing, agency and editing, and textual and melodic indeterminacy and instability. While drawing on the time-honoured materials of ballad studies, the book offers a theoretical framework for the discipline to complement the largely ethnographic approach that has dominated in recent decades. Primarily directed at the community of ballad and folk song scholars, the book will be of interest to researchers in several adjacent fields, including folklore, oral literature, ethnomusicology, and textual scholarship.
Includes a few dances with music.
Bringing together diverse scholars to represent the full historical breadth of the early modern period, and a wide range of disciplines (literature, women's studies, folklore, ethnomusicology, art history, media studies, the history of science, and history), Ballads and Broadsides in Britain, 1500-1800 offers an unprecedented perspective on the development and cultural practice of popular print in early modern Britain. Fifteen essays explore major issues raised by the broadside genre in the early modern period: the different methods by which contemporaries of the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries collected and "appreciated" such early modern popular forms; the preoccupation in the early modern period with news and especially monsters; the concomitant fascination with and representation of crime and the criminal subject; the technology and formal features of early modern broadside print together with its bearing on gender, class, and authority/authorship; and, finally, the nationalizing and internationalizing of popular culture through crossings against (and sometimes with) cultural Others in ballads and broadsides of the time.
