  • Love Tokens in the Lai De L'ombre Barry O'neill Center For
    Love Tokens in the Lai de l’Ombre Barry O’Neill Center for International Security and Cooperation Stanford University [email protected] UCLA Conference on Political Games in the Middle Ages March 2001 DRAFT ABSTRACT: The thirteenth century poem, Lai de l’Ombre, or “lay of the shadow,” tells of a knight stricken with lovesickness for a married lady whom he has seen but never met. He visits her to persuade her to accept him as her lover, or at least to take his ring as a token. She refutes all his reasons, but just when she seems to have won the argument, he uses the ring to make a surprising move, showing her his courtly skill and capturing her love. One question is why his move is so clever, but a broader one is why their dispute focuses on the ring. This paper presents a theory concerning the basis of love tokens such as rings, anniversary dinners or Valentine’s gifts. The basis of the theory is how one person’s emotion responds to the perception of a reciprocal emotion in another. One signficance of the theory is that it combines the strategic and emotional aspects of action. Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Ned Duval, Jacques Hyman, Kimberly Theidon, Scott Waugh and Patience Young for their help and very useful suggestions. Support from the Center for International Security and Cooperation is appreciated. 2 The Lay of the Shadow, written in Old French about 1220 A.D., tells how a knight is smitten with a certain married lady, argues with her to persuade her to accept him, and, when it seems he has lost his case, how he pulls a clever trick, using her reflection, or “shadow,” on the surface of a well (Renart, Orr, ed., 1948; translated Goodrich, 1964, reproduced below in Appendix II.) The poet, who identifies himself in the final lines as “Jehan Renart,” crafted a delicate story that combines ideas of courtly love dialogues with a full plot as in the Breton lays, and to a lesser extent seduction tricks of the fabliaux.

    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.

  • Barbara Allen
    120 Charles Seeger Versions and Variants of the Tunes of "Barbara Allen" As sung in traditional singing styles in the United States and recorded by field collectors who have deposited their discs and tapes in the Archive of American Folk Song in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. AFS L 54 Edited by Charles Seeger PROBABLY IT IS safe to say that most English-speaking people in the United States know at least one ballad-tune or a derivative of one. If it is not "The Two Sisters, " it will surely be "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"; or if not "The Derby Ram, " then the old Broadway hit "Oh Didn't He Ramble." If. the title is given or the song sung to them, they will say "Oh yes, I know tllat tune." And probably that tune, more or less as they know it, is to them, the tune of the song. If they hear it sung differently, as may be the case, they are as likely to protest as to ignore or even not notice the difference. Afterward, in their recognition or singing of it, they are as likely to incor­ porate some of the differences as not to do so. If they do, they are as likely to be aware as to be entirely unconscious of having done ·so. But if they ad­ mit the difference yet grant that both singings are of "that" tune, they have taken the first step toward the study of the ballad-tune. They have acknow­ ledged that there are enough resemblances between the two to allow both to be called by the same name.

  • Oral Tradition 29.1
    Oral Tradition, 29/1 (2014):47-68 Voices from Kilbarchan: Two versions of “The Cruel Mother” from South-West Scotland, 1825 Flemming G. Andersen Introduction It was not until the early decades of the nineteenth century that a concern for preserving variants of the same ballad was really taken seriously by collectors. Prior to this ballad editors had been content with documenting single illustrations of ballad types in their collections; that is, they gave only one version (and often a “conflated” or “amended” one at that), such as for instance Thomas Percy’s Reliques of Ancient English Poetry from 1765 and Walter Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border from 1802. But with “the antiquarian’s quest for authenticity” (McAulay 2013:5) came the growing appreciation of the living ballad tradition and an interest in the singers themselves and their individual interpretations of the traditional material. From this point on attention was also given to different variations of the same ballad story, including documentation (however slight) of the ballads in their natural environment. William Motherwell (1797-1835) was one of the earliest ballad collectors to pursue this line of collecting, and he was very conscious of what this new approach would mean for a better understanding of the nature of an oral tradition. And as has been demonstrated elsewhere, Motherwell’s approach to ballad collecting had an immense impact on later collectors and editors (see also, Andersen 1994 and Brown 1997). In what follows I shall first give an outline of the earliest extensively documented singing community in the Anglo-Scottish ballad tradition, and then present a detailed analysis of two versions of the same ballad story (“The Cruel Mother”) taken down on the same day in 1825 from two singers from the same Scottish village.

Prof. Elmas Sahin, Cag University, The Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Turkey, [email protected], Tel: +90 324 651 48 00, fax: +90 324 651 48 11 Abstract Although "ballad" whose origins based on the medieval period in the Western World; derived from Latin, and Italian word 'ballata' (ballare :/ = dance) to “turku” occurring approximately in the same centuries in the Eastern World, whose sources of the'' Turkish'' word sung by melodies in spoken tradition of Anatolia, a term given for folk poetry /songs "Turks" emerged in different nations and different cultures appear in similar directions. When both Ballads and folk songs as products of different cultures in terms of topics, motifs, structures and forms were analyzed are similar in many respects despite of exceptions. Here we will handle and evaluate the ballads and turkus, folk songs, being the products of different countries and cultures, according to the Comparative Literature and Criticism, and its theory by focusing the selected works, by means of a pluralistic approach. In this context these two literary genres having literary values, similar and different aspects in structure and content will be evaluated compared and contrasted in light of various methods as formal ,structural, reception and historical approaches. Keywords: ballad, turku, folk songs, folk poems, comparative literature 33 British Journal of Arts and Social Sciences ISSN: 2046-9578, Introduction Although both Ballad and Türkü are the products of different countries and cultures, except for some unimportant differences, they have similar aspects in terms of their subject, theme, motive, structure and form.
