	The Bagford Ballads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bagford was originally a cobbler, but he became a book collector in his later years, and he assembled this set of ballads from the materials he had been collecting.
		The Bagford Ballads are generally folk compositions that document the last years of the Stuart reign in the close of the 17th century (a subject that was not remote for Harley).
		After Harley's death, the Bagford Ballads were obtained by the Duke of Roxburge, and they were finally published at large by the Ballad Society in 1878.

		A ballad is a narrative, rhythmic saga of a past affair, which may be heroic, romantic or satirical, almost inevitably catastrophic, which is related in the third person, usually with foreshortened alternating four- and three-stress lines ('ballad meter') and simple repeating rhymes, and often with a refrain.
		Ballads are most often folk poetry in a musical format, passed along orally from generation to generation, set to conventional tunes and usually sung by a solo voice, the hearers joining in the refrain.
		A ballad is sung to a modal melody.

	Publisher’s Introduction: Madden Ballads From Cambridge University Library
		Such criticism is to some degree vitiated by reason that the broadside ballad is not a folksong (which by definition must have a tune) and thus scholars have almost always considered the broadside as a literary or sub-literary form which reflected the tastes of the broad mass of the population.
		In volume 26 of the Madden Ballads there is at the beginning of the volume, a note, indicating that the 25 volumes of ballads were purchased at a price of £443.0.0 and one further volume (clearly the Burrow bawdry) at £5.9.0.
		The Madden Ballads were purchased from the estate for the sum of £500.0.0, which was specially appropriated by the Senate of the University.

	Robin Hood and the Monk: Introduction
		This high valuation is tolerant of the fact that the ballad clearly lacks some material: commentators all agree that a substantial passage is missing after line 120, and that this has been caused by the loss of a leaf in the original of this manuscript.
		A dissenting voice on the ballad is that of Holt, who calls it "a blood and thunder adventure" and feels that after the return to Sherwood "the remnant of the tale is crude moral comment": overall it is "a shallow tale, but one well and crisply told" (1989, pp.
		This earliest of the surviving ballads, with its fine opening, its speed and directness, its condensed and highly suggestive plot moving between the forest retreat and the threatening outside world, presents in strong form the social challenge of the outlaw myth that has, in various reconstructions, survived to the present.

	Augustan Poetry
		Ode, ballad, elegy, satire, parody, song, and lyric poetry would all be adapted from their older uses.
		Odes would cease to be encomium, ballads cease to be narratives, elegies cease to be sincere memorials, satires no longer be specific entertainments, parodies no longer be bravura stylistic performances, songs no longer be personal lyrics, and the lyric would become a celebration of the individual rather than a lover's complaint.
		It can be argued that the development of the subjective individual against the social individual was a natural reaction to trade over other methods of economic production, or as a reflection of a breakdown in social cohesion unconsciously set in motion by enclosure and the migration of the poor to the cities.

	[No title]
		Near the end of Simpson's discussion of the tune, he rejects a ballad beginning "In summer time when Phoebus rays," to the tune of "Calino," as the source of the tune title, on the basis that the song is of the mid-seventeenth century.
		The title in the Stationers' Register is somewhat different than that on the surviving seventeenth century copies of the ballad, but that is not unusual, and I am certain that the 1588 entry was a belated one, as is the case for several late sixteenth century ballads.
		This ballad, with burden "O folly, desperate folly, what will the world come too," supplies the last title for the tune, "O folly, desperate folly." This is of the early 1690's, so our new tune title is found only on late 17th century ballads.

	Broadside Black-Letter Ballads
		One occasionally comes across in larger collections ballads which relate to folk songs, but having searched carefully through there is really nothing here to interest the folk song scholar.
		However as I have said elsewhere, there is much in old ballads to interest the historian and social historian and writers in such fields would do well to make greater use of balladry for many reasons, not least being their propensity to express feelings and sentiments of the times in a very succinct way.
		There has been some talk recently in ballad circles of Collier's forging of some ballads using old titles from the Stationers Registers (see website at olsonw@erols.com), and whilst some of these have been reproduced in prestigious collections such as Child and Chappell, I think the ballads in this volume are most probably genuine.
