Opis
Scotland's ballads represent one of the high-water marks of Scottish literature and are famous as superb expressions of oral culture, reflecting a world of magic, deep passion, and history transformed into legend. This selection includes more than eighty of the finest ballads, together with an introduction, notes, and glosses. The versions come from the last three centuries - from the time of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott, who were among the earliest collectors, up to the present day. Collected and compiled by an internationally famous scholar.
