Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ...as the more the Storm increased, It gave them more room to guess, That some Ship upon the Ocean, Was in sad and deep Distress. We saw floating, some Days after, Some spare yards were drove on Shore, On which was the Name Victory, This gave us suspicion more: That the noble Ship was stranded On the Gaskets, was our fear, Long we waited with Impatience, But no News of them could hear. To this fatal Tragedy, The brave gallant Admiral Balchen With fourteen hundred Men beside, If she's lost, went to the Bottom, And all at once together died: Oh! the dismal grief and Horror, If one had been there to see, How they all were struck with Horror, When sunk down the Victory. O! the sad and dismal Story, I'm griev'd when I the same relate, So many blasted in their Glory, And at once shared the same fate: Some thinking on their Wives and Children, And some on their Parents dear, Sunk to the Bottom in a Moment, And no Time to say a prayer. O Victory! thou wast unlucky, But once before was out at Sea, In the Night run foul of the Lion, And her Carved-work took away: Now thou art gone to the Bottom, With a jovial Company, An Admiral, Marines and Sailors, Most Unhappy Victory! The Distressed Sailors Hen first I drew the breath of life, 'Twas in the merry month of June, The fourteenth day, as I am told, When flowers they were in their bloom: It was in Seventeen hundred and five, That was the very date of the year, Myparents did for me provide, The best of learning I declare. When I grew up, they asked me What trade must we prepare for thee? My answer was to them again, I mean to range the roaring sea: My whimsical brain did falsely show The pleasures men enjoy at sea, But oh! the sorrow, grief and woe, They suffer in extremity. If there be pleasure on the...

Download or read book The Late Victorian Folksong Revival written by E. David Gregory and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-04-13 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Late Victorian Folksong Revival: The Persistence of English Melody, 1878-1903, E. David Gregory provides a reliable and comprehensive history of the birth and early development of the first English folksong revival. Continuing where Victorian Songhunters, his first book, left off, Gregory systematically explores what the Late Victorian folksong collectors discovered in the field and what they published for posterity, identifying differences between the songs noted from oral tradition and those published in print. In doing so, he determines the extent to which the collectors distorted what they found when publishing the results of their research in an era when some folksong texts were deemed unsuitable for "polite ears." The book provides a reliable overall survey of the birth of a movement, tracing the genesis and development of the first English folksong revival. It discusses the work of more than a dozen song-collectors, focusing in particular on three key figures: the pioneer folklorist in the English west country, Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould; Frank Kidson, who greatly increased the known corpus of Yorkshire song; and Lucy Broadwood, who collected mainly in the counties of Sussex and Surrey, and with Kidson and others, was instrumental in founding the Folk Song Society in the late 1890s. The book includes copious examples of the song tunes and texts collected, including transcriptions of nearly 300 traditional ballads, broadside ballads, folk lyrics, occupational songs, carols, shanties, and "national songs," demonstrating the abundance and high quality of the songs recovered by these early collectors.

Book excerpt: This epic tale of the north is a vibrant moral fable for our time. Set in the near future in the fishing village of Kuinak, Alaska, a remnant outpost of the American frontier not yet completely overcome by environmental havoc and mad-dog development, Sailor Song is a wild, rollicking novel, a dark and cosmic romp. The town and its denizens—colorful refugees from the Lower Forty-Eight and DEAPs (Descendants of Early Aboriginal Peoples)—are seduced and besieged by a Hollywood crew, come to film the classic children's book The Sea Lion. The ensuing turf war escalates into a struggle for the soul of the town as the novel spins and swirls toward a harrowing climax. Writing with a spectacular range of language and style, Kesey has given us a unique and powerful novel about America.
