Synopsis

The Quaint Comedy Of Love, Wooing And Mating: Songs, Lyrics, Ballads And Verses, An English, Scottish And Irish Anthology (1907) is a collection of romantic poetry and songs from various English, Scottish, and Irish writers. Compiled by Duncan Macdougall, the anthology features a wide range of styles and themes, including humorous and lighthearted pieces about courtship and marriage, as well as more serious and melancholy works about lost love and heartbreak. The book includes both well-known classics and lesser-known gems, such as traditional folk ballads and popular songs from the Victorian era. Overall, The Quaint Comedy Of Love, Wooing And Mating is a charming and entertaining collection of poetry and lyrics that offers a unique glimpse into the romantic traditions of England, Scotland, and Ireland.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

So far as we are aware, bibliographically speaking, no anthology of the poetic Comedy of Love has ever before been attempted ;unless an exception be allowed in the case of Mr. Watson s Lyric Love. But in that strict, perhaps over-strict, work, and in other general collections, the space given to one particular theme is of course very limited. Yet while we have not fingered the anthologists knife too fastidiously, we have had ever in view the magical quality a fine standard. And that same quality of art is to us the more elusive and indescribable because of the arts within the art: the work of the Elizabethans, to give but an instance, being so out of tone with that of, say, a Matthew Prior, a Praed, a Tom Hood, a Thackeray, or a Calverley. Therefore we trust that, by this wider scope, fewer gentle critics have been offended than verily had been by the narrower method.
