German Translations and Criticism of the Danish Medieval Ballad to 1853
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn this investigation we sought to examine all German translations and criticism of Danish medieval ballads published between 1766, the year in which the first German version appeared, and 1853, the year in which the first fascicle of the critical edition of the Danish ballads, Danmarks gamle Folkeviser, was published. For this investigation a Danish ballad was defined as one that appears in Danmarks gamle Folkeviser. We were interested in the kinds of translations produced, the types of ballads translated, and German criticism of the ballads. Not included was any analysis of ballad melodies or a discussion of any type of influence, such as that of the Danish ballad upon German poetry or of German folk song upon the Danish ballad.
