Author(s):

Morris, Alton C.

Abstract:

The author uses The Two Angry Women of Abington as a case study for his thesis that use of proverbs greatly increased in the 16th and early 17th centuries. This play has an abundant amount of proverbial lore, and is unique in the way that the playwright did not draw much from written sources for them.

Author(s):

Nygard, Holger Olof

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.
