Synopsis

Ballad and Epic: A Study in the Development of the Narrative Art is a book written by Walter Morris Hart and originally published in 1907. The book explores the evolution of narrative poetry, specifically ballads and epics, from their origins in oral tradition to their written forms in literature. Hart examines the similarities and differences between ballads and epics, and how they reflect the cultural and historical contexts in which they were created. He also analyzes the techniques and structures used in these narrative forms, such as repetition, alliteration, and the use of archetypes.Throughout the book, Hart provides examples of ballads and epics from various cultures and time periods, including Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Greek, and Roman. He also discusses the influence of these narrative forms on later literary works, such as Shakespeare's plays and the poetry of the Romantic era.Overall, Ballad and Epic is a comprehensive study of the narrative art form, providing insight into its development and significance in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
