Transcribed from the 1913 Thomas J. Wise pamphlet by David Price "The Brother Avenged, and Other Ballads" by George Borrow and Thomas James Wise is a collection of narrative poems written in the early 20th century. This compilation features a range of ballads reflecting themes of love, revenge, and nature, drawing from folklore and historical influences. The poems convey a rich emotional landscape through vivid imagery and rhythmic storytelling. The central piece, “The Brother Avenged,” recounts the tale of a man seeking vengeance for the murder of his brother. After embarking on a treacherous journey, he confronts the assailants, resulting in a series of violent encounters that lead him to an outlawed life hidden in the woods. Throughout the collection, other ballads explore romantic longing and the beauty of nature, such as the declarations of love in “The Eyes” and the whimsical narrative of “The Elf Bride.” The poems blend a sense of adventure with elements of personal sorrow and longing, capturing the complexity of human emotions amidst rich, natural backdrops.
