BALLADS
Brandl, Aloig. A good account of English and Scottish ballads in Paul's
Grundriss der germanischen Philologie, vol. II, Strassburg, 1893.
Child, F. J. (ed. ). The English and Scottish Popular Ballads. 5 vols. , 10
parts. Boston and New York, 1882-98.
Practically a new work, and
in no sense a second edition of Child's earlier collection in eight vols. ,
Boston, 1857-8. The fifth volume (1898) contains a bibliography1 (pp.
503-566), which, with the Sources of the Texts (pp. 397-405), the Titles
of Collections of Ballads (pp. 455-469), indexes, lists of ballad-airs and
tunes and other helps, furnishes a complete apparatus for the student
of the particular subject. There is, however, no corresponding biblio-
graphy of the ballad at large; for Child did not live to write his greatly
desired general introduction.
1 The introduction to each of the separate ballads, with the Additions and
Corrections, gives a bibliography for the study of that ballad in all its relations.

Child, F. J. (ed. ). Article on Ballads, in Johnson's Cyclopaedia. New York,
1893. While the author wished no stress to be laid upon this article
with regard to general questions, it gives a clear account of the scope
and connections of British ballads and a brief description of those of
other lands.

seemingly a lost cause.
Gummere, F. B. Introduction to Old English Ballads. Boston, 1894. Sub-
sequent editions unchanged: it contains an account of ballad criticism
in England and Germany. See also, by the same writer, The Ballad
and Communal Poetry, Child Memorial volume (v) of the Harvard
Studies and Notes in Philology and Literature, Boston, 1896; Primitive

Kittredge, G. L. Introduction to the one-volume edition of Child's Ballads.
Edited by Mrs Sargent and himself. Boston, 1904. This volume in-
cludes one or more versions of practically all the ballads, and the
introduction is a clear exposition of the doctrine that popular ballads
really belong to the people.
Lang, A. Article on Ballads, in Encyclopaedia Britannica, 9th edition. Lang
has expressed his opinion on the ballad-question in recent papers; in
particular may be noted his discussion of the ballad Auld Maitland in
Folk Lore, XIII, 191 ff. (1902), and his argument for communal author-
ship, ibid. xiv, 147 ff. (1903).
Sidgwick, F. Popular Ballads of the Olden Time. 1903, 1904, 1907. 3 series.
2 vols, issued so far. The introduction inclines to the theory that ballads
belong to the people, but makes allowance for opposing views such as
those of G. Gregory Smith and T. F. Henderson.
Smith, G. Gregory. The Transition Period. 1900. Chap. VI.
Older criticism, foreign and domestic, of English ballads is summarised
in F. B. Gummere's Introduction to Old English Ballads cited above. For
admirable discussion of ballad poetry in other lands see the introduction to
Constantino Nigra’s Canti Popolari del Piemonte, Turin, 1888, pp. xi-xxxvii,
and Gaston Paris, De l'Étude de la Poésie Populaire, in Melusine, 1, 1 ff.
Opposed to their doctrine is John Meier, whose Kunstlieder im Volksmunde,
Halle, 1906, indicates its theory by its title, and is not very far from
Henderson's point of view. It must be remembered, finally, that the majority
of the poems published by the Ballad Society, such as street-songs,
broadsides and popular ditties of every sort, belongs not to the subject of
this chapter, but to journalism.
