First published in 1920, this book contains a series of English
verse translations of Danish ballads. As far as possible, the
metrical variations of original Danish versions are reproduced and
literal accuracy is privileged over poetic effect. Inclusions are
divided into the following sections: 'Historical Ballads';
'Legendary Ballads'; 'Ballads of Magic'; 'Miscellaneous Ballads'. A
historical introduction by the translator is also included. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Danish
literature and the ballad form.
