The Songs of Ranild
The songs of Ranild -- Child Stig and Child Findal.
Transcribed from the 1913 Thomas J. Wise pamphlet by David Price
"The Songs of Ranild" by George Borrow is a collection of narrative poetry written in the early 20th century. The work features a series of songs that recount epic tales of love, honor, and chivalrous adventures set against a backdrop of medieval landscapes. The text brings to life characters embroiled in themes of loyalty and betrayal, tying them to a legend of noble deeds and romantic entanglements. The book consists of several songs detailing the saga of Ranild and his interactions with friends and foes alike. The narrative follows Ranild, a gallant knight, as he dances, quests for his bride Kirstine, and faces betrayal and punishment from King Erik. Other characters, such as the noble Stig, also feature in tales of love and conflict, adding depth to the exploration of chivalric values. Overall, the poems convey a rich tapestry of medieval life filled with longing, courage, and the struggle for honor amidst adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
