Greek Folk-Songs From the Turkish Provinces of Greece Albania, Thessaly, (Not Yet Wholly Free) And Macedonia: Literal and Metrical Translations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Greek Folk-Songs From the Turkish Provinces of Greece Albania, Thessaly, (Not Yet Wholly Free) And Macedonia: Literal and Metrical Translations
Those Nationalist Antiquarian Researches, to which the chief impulse was given by the enthusiasm excited by Macpherson's Ossian (1760), have developed, in the course of the century since then, into Comparative and Scientific Studies of Folk-life and Folk-lore. The results, however, obtained by that earlier Antiquarianism had an immense effect on the writing, or rather, in most cases, the rewriting of National Histories; nor was History affected only in its facts by Antiquarian results, but in its style by Antiquarian imagination - and this especially through the influence of those novels of Sir Walter Scott's, which constitute a single great Romance of European History. But if that earlier Antiquarianism, painstaking, yet, in general, sufficiently prejudiced as it was, had effects so great on the writing of History; still greater things may, I think, be expected from Antiquarianism developed as it now is into a Comparative Science of Folk-life and Folk-lore. If, like the earlier Antiquarianism, this new Comparative Science has a sphere of influence corresponding to its scope of study, it should cause the rewriting, not of mere National Histories, but of the General History of Civilization. Nor is this an inference merely from the greater scope of the New Antiquarianism.
