Description

Explore the deep history of the ballad genre with The Ballad and the Folk by David Buchan. This Routledge Library Edition offers a detailed look at the regional traditions of Northeast Scotland, which stands as the most fertile ballad area in Britain. First published in 1972, this work serves two main goals. It investigates the ballad as a form of oral literature while also examining the regional tradition through an ethnographic lens. By placing these traditions within their social context, Buchan provides a clear understanding of the people who created and shared these stories. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and oral traditions. It applies important recent research to help readers understand how folk music and storytelling function within a specific community. Whether you are studying literary history or social sciences, this text provides a foundational perspective on how oral literature survives and evolves through regional culture.
