词汇 | childe ballad |
词源 | Childe ballad. American ballads are generally classified in three groups: Childe ballads, broadside ballads, and native American ballads. Childe ballads are not about children but refer to the 305 early songs collected by Harvard English professor Francis James Childe (1825–96) in the late 19th century. Of Chil- de’s English and Scottish Popular Ballads, half the songs were brought to America by English settlers; they are considered the best of American ballads, and are still sung today, although many have undergone great transformations through the years. |
