"The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, volume 5 (of 5)" by Francis James Child is a scholarly collection published between 1882-1898. This final volume completes Child's monumental anthology of 305 traditional ballads from England and Scotland. It contains essential scholarly apparatus including glossaries, source indexes, and catalogs of ballad tunes. These dark, compelling narratives explore romance, supernatural encounters, outlaw adventures, family strife, and historic events—ranging from medieval tales of Robin Hood to
tragic love stories that blur the line between folk song and fairy tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
