"The Border Ballads are rooted in the wild and beautiful lands that lie between England and Scotland, a traditionally lawless area whose inhabitant owed allegiance first to kin and laird, and only then to the authorities in London or Edinburgh. Recording a violent, clannish world of fierce hatred and loyalties, the ballads tell vivid tales of raids, feuds and betrayals, romances and revenge. They celebrate ungovernable heroes and powerful women, often in laments for the murderous results of breaking tribal codes, and they evoke the presence of an older border, between the natural and the supernatural worlds. The Border Ballads were long regarded as primitive poems. James Reed's selection restores their identity within the oral tradition, setting them in the context of their time and place with the aid of maps and a glossary." -- Publisher's description
