Publisher's Synopsis
Ballads In Imitation Of The Ancient is a collection of poetry written by William Henry Ireland and published in 1801. The book contains a series of ballads that are written in the style of ancient English poetry. The poems are inspired by traditional English ballads and are written in a language that is deliberately archaic and reminiscent of the Middle Ages. The book is divided into three parts, each containing a different set of ballads. The first part focuses on stories of love and romance, while the second part contains ballads about war and battle. The final part of the book explores supernatural themes and includes ballads about ghosts, witches, and other supernatural creatures. Overall, Ballads In Imitation Of The Ancient is a fascinating exploration of traditional English poetry and a testament to the enduring power of the ballad form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
