Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is a well-planned book, and the ed-itors have included among their selections many necessary and/or interesting and important articles. It admirably fills two functions: for the scholar it is a conven-ient gathering of articles (many of them difficult of immediate access) and for the students a survey of the modes of ballad criticism."-Midwest Folklore
"They [the essays] furnish an invalu-able introduction to ballad criticism, and they also provide very good re-reading of the individual essay, not only for itself but as seen in the perspective of time, theme, and theory."-Journal of International Folk Music Council
