Description

The Ballad and the Folk examines the enduring literary tradition of ballads through a focused study of Northeast Scotland's rich ballad heritage, the most fertile ballad region in Britain. First published in 1972, David Buchan's scholarly work investigates ballads as oral literature whilst situating regional tradition within its broader social and ethnographic context. This Routledge Library Editions volume combines literary analysis with ethnographic methodology to explore the nature of the ballad genre and the communities that created and sustained it. The book applies contemporary folklore research to understand how ballads functioned as both artistic expression and cultural artefact. Ideal for students and researchers in folklore, literature, anthropology and social sciences seeking comprehensive analysis of traditional ballad culture and its significance in British regional heritage.
