Of Child Ballads Alphabetical index to the Child Ballads While working on folk songs in manuscript I wanted to have in front of me a list of the Child ballads with their numbers. Child himself does not supply such a list and the index of my edition of Kittredge* was too small to scan. Steve Roud kindly scanned his for me. I then found that what I really wanted was an alphabetical list - so here it is: Adam Bell, Clim Of The Clough And William Of Cloudesly Child 116 Alison And Willie Child 256 Allison Gross Child 35 Andrew Lammie Child 233 Archie o Cawfield Child 188 Auld Matrons Child 249 Babylon (or The Bonnie Banks of Fordie) Child 14 Baffled Knight, The Child 112 Bailiff's Daughter Of Islington , The Child 105 Baron o Leys, The Child 241 Baron Of Brackley, The Child 203 Battle Of Harlaw, The Child 163 Battle Of Otterburn, The Child 161 Battle Of Philiphaugh, The Child 202 Beggar-Laddie, The Child 280 Bent Sae Brown, The Child 71 Bessy Bell And Mary Gray Child 201 Bewick And Graham Child 211 Blancheflour And Jellyflorice Child 300 Bold Pedlar And Robin Hood, The Child 132 Bonnie Annie Child 24 Bonnie House o Airlie, The Child 199 Bonnie James Campbell Child 210 Bonnie Lizie Baillie Child 227 Bonny Baby Livingston Child 222 Bonny Barbara Allan Child 84 Bonny Bee Hom Child 92 Bonny Birdy, The Child 82 Bonny Earl Of Murray, The Child 181 Bonny Hind, The Child 50 Bonny John Seton Child 198 Bonny Lass Of Anglesey, The Child 220 Bothwell Bridge Child 206 Boy And The Mantle, The Child 29 Braes o Yarrow, The Child 214 Broom Of Cowdenknows, The Child 217 Broomfield Hill, The Child 43 Broughty Wa's Child 258 Brown Adam Child 98 Brown Girl, The Child 295 Brown Robin Child 97 Brown Robyn's Confession Child 57 Burd Ellen And Young Tamlane Child 28 Burd Isabel And Earl Patrick Child 257 Captain Car Or Edom o Gordon Child 178 Captain Ward And The Rainbow Child 287 Captain Wedderburn's Courtship Child 46 Carnal And The Crane, The Child 55 Charlie Macpherson Child 234 Cherry Tree Carol, The Child 54 Child Maurice Child 83 Child Owlet Child 291 Child Waters Child 63 Christopher White Child 108 Clerk Colvill Child 42 Clerk Saunders Child 69 Clerk's Twa Sons o Owsenford, The Child 72 Coble o Cargill, The Child 242 Crafty Farmer, The Child 283 Crow And Pie Child 111 Cruel Brother, The Child 11 Cruel Mother, The Child 20 Death Of Parcy Reed, The Child 193 Death Of Queen Jane, The Child 170 Dick o The Cow Child 185 Dives And Lazarus Child 56 Dugall Quinn Child 294 Duke Of Athole's Nurse, The Child 212 Duke Of Gordon's Daughter, The Child 237 Durham Field Child 159 Earl Bothwell Child 174 Earl Brand Child 7 Earl Crawford Child 229 Earl Of Aboyne, The Child 235 Earl Of Errol, The Child 231 Earl Of Mar's Daughter, The Child 270 Earl Of Westmoreland, The Child 177 Earl Rothes Child 297 Edward Child 13 Elfin Knight, The Child 2 Eppie Morrie Child 223 Erlinton Child 8 Fair Annie Child 62 Fair Flower Of Northumberland, The Child 9 Fair Janet Child 64 Fair Margaret And Sweet William Child 74 Fair Mary Of Wallington Child 91 False Lover Won Back, The Child 218 Famous Flower Of Servingmen, The Child 106 Farmer's Curst Wife, The Child 278 Fause Foodrage Child 89 Fause Knight Upon The Road, The Child 3 Fire Of Frendraught , The Child 196 Flodden Field Child 168 Friar In The Well.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

  • The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe
    B AR B ARA C HING Happily Ever After in the Marketplace: The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe Between 1882 and 1898, Harvard English Professor Francis J. Child published The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, a five volume col- lection of ballad lyrics that he believed to pre-date the printing press. While ballad collections had been published before, the scope and pur- ported antiquity of Child’s project captured the public imagination; within a decade, folklorists and amateur folk song collectors excitedly reported finding versions of the ballads in the Appalachians. Many enthused about the ‘purity’ of their discoveries – due to the supposed isolation of the British immigrants from the corrupting influences of modernization. When Englishman Cecil Sharp visited the mountains in search of English ballads, he described the people he encountered as “just English peasant folk [who] do not seem to me to have taken on any distinctive American traits” (cited in Whisnant 116). Even during the mid-century folk revival, Kentuckian Jean Thomas, founder of the American Folk Song Festival, wrote in the liner notes to a 1960 Folk- ways album featuring highlights from the festival that at the close of the Elizabethan era, English, Scotch, and Scotch Irish wearied of the tyranny of their kings and spurred by undaunted courage and love of inde- pendence they braved the perils of uncharted seas to seek freedom in a new world. Some tarried in the colonies but the braver, bolder, more venturesome of spirit pressed deep into the Appalachians bringing with them – hope in their hearts, song on their lips – the song their Anglo-Saxon forbears had gathered from the wander- ing minstrels of Shakespeare’s time.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

PUBLICATIONS OF THE Modern Language Association of America 19zO VOL. XXXV, 2 NEW SERIES, VOL. XXVIII, 2 IX.-THE ENGLISH BALLADS AND THE CHURCH Many origins have been suggested for the type of nar- rative song appearing in the English and Scottish tradi- tional ballads: minstrel genesis, origin in the dance, im- provisations of media3val peasant communes, or descent from the dance songs of primitive peoples. The hypothe- sis of minstrel origin was that first to be advanced and it has always retained supporters. There remains a possi- bility not yet brought forward which deserves to be pre- sented for what it is worth, since the problem, though it may be insoluble, has its attraction for critic and student. WVe have but meager knowledge of the ballad melodies of pre-Elizabethan days, and we can get but little farther with the study of the ballads by way of research into medimeval music. Moreover the earliest texts remaining to us seem to have been meant for recital rather than for singing.

THE CHARTIST ROBIN HOOD: THOMAS MILLER’S ROYSTON GOWER; OR, THE DAYS OF KING JOHN (1838) Stephen Basdeo Thomas Miller was born in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire in 1807, to a poor family and in his early youth worked as a ploughboy before becoming a shoemaker’s apprentice. He had a limited education, but his mother encouraged him to read on a daily basis.1 In his adult life, he became a professional author. He greatly admired Walter Scott, whom he referred to as “the immortal author of Waverley.”2 Indeed, such was his admiration that it was in emulation of Scott’s Ivanhoe (1819) that Miller authored his own Robin Hood novel titled Royston Gower; or, The Days of King John, published in December 1838.3 Ivanhoe had a profound influence upon the Robin Hood legend.

  • Mikee Delony Abilene Christian University Peer-Reviewed Robin
    A REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S PUBLICATIONS IN ROBIN HOOD SCHOLARSHIP Mikee Delony Abilene Christian University Peer-reviewed Robin Hood scholarship published in 2015 includes two single-author books, two edited book chapters, and eight journal articles. These publications examine specific texts from the matter of Robin Hood, providing new approaches to familiar texts and further exploration of less-familiar materials. Many scholars also comment on the tradition’s capacity for seemingly endless adaptation and highlight the similar ideological and political threads woven through the materials. Shining an academic light upon five centuries of Robin Hood texts that celebrate political resistance and public activism against oppression takes on new importance in light of contemporary global resistance to government overreach and systemic oppression. Since Robin Hood scholarship also tends to resist categorization, I have loosely grouped these reviews by literary chronology and genre. GENERAL STUDIES In Reading Robin Hood: Content, Form, and Reception in the Outlaw Myth,1 Stephen Knight revisits the Robin Hood literary tradition from his position as one of the early pioneers in the field of Robin Hood studies. In his survey, which ranges from medieval oral ballads to twenty- first film and television adaptations, Knight notes the multivalent, “unhierarchial, nonlinear” (10) nature of the tradition and suggests that Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizomatic “model of multiplicity” (234) might best describe the “various, porous, [and] richly labile” legend (10). Writing that the Robin Hood tradition “renews itself in turns of current political forces and media of dissemination and consistently has as scant a respect for literary and formalistic authority as it has for social and legal forces of order” (253), Knight celebrates the characteristics that prevent the tradition from achieving canonical status at the same time they have remained relevant for centuries.
