The Singer and the Scribe brings together studies of the European ballad
from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century by major authorities in the
field and is of interest to students of European literature, popular
traditions and folksong. It offers an original view of the development of
the ballad by focusing on the interplay and interdependence of written and
oral transmission, including studies of modern singers and their repertoires
and of the role of the audience in generating a literary product which
continues to live in performance. While using specific case studies the
contributors systematically extend their reflections on the ballad as song
and as poetry to draw broader conclusions. Covering the Hispanic world,
including the Sephardic tradition, Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Greece,
Russia, England and Scotland the essays also demonstrate the
interconnections of a European tradition beyond national boundaries.
