We have formed in Vancouver a ballad study group, focussing particularly on
Child ballads. Our Archives here have sung examples of some 120 of these,
which will form the basis of our study. We are singers and scholars in
various areas, but none of us is a ballad specialist. The ballad area seems
to lie between the disciplines of music, literature, and anthropology. My
question is two- fold: where can we find bibliographies of current work in
ballad scholarship, and where can we find published articles on balladry,
particularly on the Child ballads?
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me!
