First published in 1979, this work presents the history of the
ballad, including its origin, style, content and preservation. It
explores how ballads have adapted and changed over time,
particularly with the rise of mass literacy and printing and the
decline in the oral tradition, and in doing so, demonstrates the
versatility of the genre. With separate indexes for names and
ballad titles, this book will be a valuable resource to those
studying English ballads and early modern and modern poetry.
