A good bibliographic starting point is
Tom Cheesman & Sigrid Rieuwerts, Ballads into Books: The Legacies of Francis
James Child (Bern: Peter Lang, 1997) ISBN 390675734X; which includes David
Atkinson's 'A Child Study Guide with Select Bibliography and Discography'
also:
W. Edson Richmond, Ballad Scholarship: An Annotated Bibliography (New York:
Garland, 1989).

Subject: Ballad help needed
> 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!
