Ballads of Romance and Chivalry Popular Ballads of the Olden Times - First Series Produced by Louise Hope, Paul Murray and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.ne "Ballads of Romance and Chivalry" by Frank Sidgwick is a collection of traditional ballads compiled and edited in the early 20th century. This compilation focuses on the themes of romance and chivalry that permeate ancient English and Scottish ballads, aiming to honor their oral traditions and historical significance. The intention is to showcase narratives that highlight human emotions, conflicts, and the cultural fabric of past eras. The opening of the collection sets the stage for a deep exploration of ballads, beginning with a preface that distinguishes between genuine traditional ballads and later imitative works. Sidgwick emphasizes the rich lineage of these songs, which have been lovingly passed down through generations despite variations in form and detail. The reader is introduced to the approach he undertakes, valuing authenticity and a faithful representation of the original contexts from which these tales arise, ultimately inviting readers to both enjoy and reflect on the intricate stories within this historical tapestry.
