Duke University Press:, 1968. 352 pages. "This objective study of texts and context puts ballad scholarship for the first time on a sound basis. Professor Fowler traces the development of the English and Scottish popular ballad from its beginning in the fifteenth century through the eighteenth century. This is the first work to offer a theory of ballad origins which is literary rather than anthropological; that is, here the ballad is treated as a literary composition differing from other literature on in musical setting and oral transmission."
