	Early Child Ballads
		Our understanding of the ballad has changed somewhat since Kittredge's day (particularly with regards to his identification of the ballad as a literary form first, and only secondarily as song), but his definition is close enough to the modern one to serve as a jumping-off point for a lengthier attempt at characterizing the ballad form.
		Ballads tend to be characterized by impersonality on the part of the singer: The narrator is not personally touched by story, is not taking sides, and typically sings without much dramatization.
		Internal evidence for the age of a ballad is an unreliable guide, partly because of an eighteenth-century tendency to cloak new ballads in an appearance of antiquity.

		The Fields of Athenry is a song about the Irish Famine of the late 1840s, which was composed in the 1980s by Pete St. John, a prolific composer of widely sung modern ballads; his other most famous song is Dublin in the rare ol' times.
		The Fields of Athenry is widely seen as the definitive folk song on the Famine, telling the story of the Famine through the personal experiences of someone gaoled and deported.
		The song, which was first recorded by Irish ballad singer Paddy Reilly, recounts the tale of a mythical Irishman in prison, reporting the story he could hear through the prison walls of another prisoner who is being deported to Tasmania for stealing food to feed his starving family.
