Abstract:
The author seeks to call attention to the imbalance in the understanding of relations between English-Scottish ballads and Scandinavian folkeviser, and the relation those two have to the French romancero traditionnel or chanson populaire. This imbalance came about from romantic nationalism in the 19th century and the author references works done by Grundtvig and Child.
