DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Border Ballads Among the by no means numerous manuscripts left by Swinburne unpublished at the time of his death, were a series of seven Border Ballads. To the end that these delightful and important Ballads should be immediately and permanently preserved in type, Mr. Theodore Watts-Dunton caused about twenty or so to be privately printed in London in pamphlet form, with suitable Introductions by himself. It is by Mr. Watts-Dunton's courtesy that The Bibliophile Society has now been enabled to reprint them for distribution among its members.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCountry music in the Carolinas and the southern Appalachian Mountains owes a tremendous debt to freedom-loving Scotch-Irish pioneers who settled the southern backcountry during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These hardy Protestant settlers brought with them from Lowland Scotland, Northern England and the Ulster Province of Ireland music that created the essential framework for "old-time string band music." From the cabins of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains to the textile mills and urban centers of the Carolina foothills, this colorful, passionate, heartfelt music transformed the culture of America and the world and laid the foundation for western swing, bluegrass, rockabilly and modern country music. Author Michael Scoggins takes a trip to the roots of country music in the Carolinas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1979, this work presents the history of the ballad, including its origin, style, content and preservation. It explores how ballads have adapted and changed over time, particularly with the rise of mass literacy and printing and the decline in the oral tradition, and in doing so, demonstrates the versatility of the genre. With separate indexes for names and ballad titles, this book will be a valuable resource to those studying English ballads and early modern and modern poetry.
