Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of 19th-century English and Scottish ballads from the isolated communities of Nova Scotia. It is collected through the ambitious efforts of the author, who ventured to discover remnants of oral tradition in an age where modern technology has largely replaced… the active storytelling of yore. The book goes into detail about the general decline in oral storytelling culture from its height and the particular difficulties that came with collecting these timeless tales from the fringe communities that kept them alive, providing a record of both the ballads and the story of their preservation. The author found that the remaining storytellers were reluctant to share their tales at first, but by developing a rapport with his subjects and demonstrating a genuine love and respect for the old songs, he gained their trust and was able to collect these invaluable pieces of living history before they were lost forever. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
