Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fifty Years Of English Song: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, The Ballad And Song Writers, The Religious Poets is a book written by Henry Fitz Randolph and originally published in 1888. The book is a comprehensive overview of the English songwriting tradition over the course of fifty years, covering the period from the mid-19th century to the late 1800s. The book is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on a specific group of songwriters. The first section explores the work of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of artists and writers who sought to revive the aesthetics of medieval art and literature. The second section focuses on the ballad and songwriters of the era, including well-known figures such as Alfred Lord Tennyson and Christina Rossetti, as well as lesser-known writers. The third section examines the work of religious poets, including John Keble and Gerard Manley Hopkins.Throughout the book, Randolph provides detailed analysis of the lyrics and themes of the songs, as well as historical context for the writers and their work. The book also includes biographical information about the songwriters and their influences, as well as examples of their work.Overall, Fifty Years Of English Song is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English songwriting and the cultural context in which it developed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
