POPULAR BALLADS OF THE OLDEN TIME
Selected and Edited by Frank Sidgwick
First Series.
Ballads of Romance and Chivalry. 1903.
‘It forms an excellent introduction to a sadly neglected source of poetry.’ —Athenæum.
‘There can be nothing but praise for the selection, editing, and notes, which are all excellent and adequate. It is, in fine, a valuable volume of what bids fair to be a very valuable series.’ —Academy.
‘The most serviceable edition of the ballads yet published in England.’ —Manchester Guardian.
Second Series.
Ballads of Mystery and Miracle and Fyttes of Mirth. 1904.
‘It includes many beautiful and well-known ballads, and no pains have been spared by the editor in producing them, so far as may be, in their entirety.’ —World.
‘The second volume . . . carries out the promise of the first. . . . Even after Professor Kittredge’s compressed edition of Child, . . . Mr. Sidgwick’s work abundantly justifies its existence.’ —Manchester Guardian.
Third Series.
Ballads of Scottish Tradition and Romance. 1906.
‘This book is as good a model of fine and careful editing as the two earlier volumes. . . . Mr. Sidgwick’s selections could not be bettered, nor could he have arranged them more attractively.’ —Manchester Guardian.
‘There can be no doubt that when the series is completed it will be the best cheap and popular and representative collection.’ —Bookman.
