Beschreibung
'Ballads of Mystery and Miracle and Fyttes of Mirth' by Frank Sidgwick is a collection of ballads divided into four sections: Ballads of Superstition and the Supernatural, Ballads of Sacred Origin, Ballads of Riddle and Repartee, and Merry Ballads. The majority of the ballads in the first section are Scottish and contain haunting tales of the supernatural, including Thomas Rymer, Tam Lin, and The Dæmon Lover. However, the exception is the English ballad, The Unquiet Grave, which is just as lyrical and haunting as the Scottish ballads. This ballad explores the concept of excessive mourning being fatal to both the dead and the mourner. Sidgwick also delves into the subject of the Lyke-wake, a dirge that explores folklore and superstitions surrounding death and mourning. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in traditional ballads, supernatural tales, and folklore.
