Francis James Child, George Lyman Kittredge : The English and Scottish Popular Ballads Volume 1 before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The English and Scottish Popular Ballads Volume 1:

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Excellent "corrected" editionBy J. R. BrownChild's "English and Scottish Popular Ballads" is THE sourcebook for anyone interested in the traditional ballads of the British Isles, and also invaluable to all aficionados of European folklore and folksong in general. For those not up on their terminology, a is a folksong with a plot, and Child's collection covers everything from foul murders to star-crossed lovers to , in five volumes.I am extremely happy that someone has finally issued an edition incorporating the various addenda and corrections that Child made before his death. There is nothing here that Child did not write, so if you are looking for additional scholarship or commentary you will be disappointed; but the Loomis House edition vastly improves over the Dover facsimiles in completeness and convenience. Additional variants, comments and even some tunes (the one big omission in the original) are placed conveniently near the main text of each category rather than buried in appendices (most of which aren't included in the Dover editions at all). It's well worth the few extra dollars over the Dover books.My one quibble is that they do not reproduce some of the typographical distinctions that Child occasionally used to indicate different features of a text, but this is overshadowed by all the good points of this edition.Overall this is a wonderful and affordable edition; I fervently hope that all five volumes are issued as planned (it's been almost a year since Volume 3 came out...). I have no idea why makes these books so hard to find on their site: fix this, guys!In summary: Buy this book. Now if someone would only reprint Bertrand Bronson's "The Singing Tradition of Child's Popular Ballads" as well....0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One to get if you like ballads!By TheoHas a lot of good ballads in here (54 through 113), like Sweet William's and the Selkie of Sule Skerry. I like the way the book is formatted, with info about the song's origins and the descriptions of variations from different countries are really interesting.That said I did get the paperback, so no sheet music. But that's something you can usually find around the internet.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully faithful to the originalBy Bard of the BrandywineMany years ago (pre- Books!) when I recorded, "Bard of the Brandywine" it was impossible to find Vol. II of the F.J. Child's collection of the English Scottish ballads as it contained the studies on the most popular, and Barbara Allen.So I was ecstatic to find Vol.II published independently of the orignal five-volume collection and to complete my Dover publication set of this seminal study.THANK YOU!Sally Jane Denk-HoeyBard of the Brandywine This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
