Old Ballads V1 - Thomas Evans - Bog

Old Ballads V1: Historical And Narrative, With Some Of Modern Date (1784) is a book of ballads compiled by Thomas Evans. It is the first volume in a series that includes a collection of traditional ballads from England, Scotland, and Ireland. The book features ballads that tell stories of historical events, such as battles and political intrigue, as well as narrative ballads that explore themes of love, betrayal, and revenge. Some of the ballads in the book are of modern date, meaning they were written more recently than the traditional ballads. The book provides a glimpse into the rich oral tradition of balladry that has been passed down through generations in the British Isles. The ballads are presented in their original form, with archaic language and spelling preserved. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of traditional British ballads and folk music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
