The English and Scottish Popular Ballads
309 chapters English Public domain
About this book
The ultimate Child ballad etext has yet to be constructed. This etext hence lacks the apparatus and, apparently, some of the variations of the original text, and has some lacunae and glitches. That said, this etext has been assembled from the best available resources on the Internet. This version was built using a Child corpus constructed by Cathy Lynn Preston at the University of Colorado (http://www.colorado.edu/ArtsSciences/CCRH/Ballads/ballads.html).
