Poetic Origins and the Ballad is a literary study by Louise Pound, originally published in 1920. The book explores the origins and evolution of the ballad form in English literature, tracing its roots back to the oral poetry of medieval England and its influence on later literary forms. Pound examines the structure and themes of the ballad, analyzing its unique blend of narrative and lyric elements, and explores the ways in which the ballad has been adapted and transformed over time. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including traditional ballads, literary ballads, and popular songs, Pound offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of this enduring literary form. This book is a must-read for scholars of English literature, folklore, and cultural history, as well as anyone interested in the development of literary forms and traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
