The Border Ballads are rooted in the wild and beautiful lands that lie between England and Scotland, a traditionally lawless area whose inhabitants owed allegiance first to kin and laird, and only then to the authorities in London or Edinburgh. Recording a violent, clannish world of fierce hatreds and passionate loyalties, the ballads tell vivid tales of raids, feuds and betrayals, romances and acts of revenge. They celebrate ungovernable heroes and powerful women, often in laments for the murderous results of breaking tribal codes, and they evoke the presence of an older border, between the natural and the supernatural worlds. The Border Ballads were long regarded as primitive poems. This selection restores their identity within the oral tradition, setting them in the context of their time and place with the aid of maps and a glossary.

Excerpt from English Border Ballads AN eminent statesman is, reported to have said: Let me make the ballads of a nation, and I care not who makes the laws. We echo the wish, for the ambition is a noble one. The human heart is a musical instrument, and like an [eolian lyre, waits the magic touch; and happy is that man who can stir and thrill its harmonic chords! Sweet is the in uence of song! It awakens pleasant memories, and speaks to us of those who were, but are not. The Ballads of a country win us into a sym. Pathetic relationship with bygone times, and the spirits of the dead, - the heart of to-day beating in harmony with that of a ruder age.
