Summary "Essays in the Study of Folk-Songs" by Countess Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the rich tapestry of folk poetry, exploring the themes and emotional underpinnings of popular songs from various cultures, emphasizing their historical and societal significance. The collection likely aims to expand understanding of the role of folk songs in preserving cultural memory and reflecting the human experience. The opening of the volume sets a contemplative tone, introducing the reader to the study of folk songs with rich verses from Wordsworth that convey the emotional weight behind traditional music. It notes the interdependence of folk songs and folk tales, asserting the former's importance as a form of poetry that captures the collective emotions and wisdom of the people. This section outlines the necessity for collectors and students of folk songs to approach their subjects with empathy and respect, as these songs embody the very essence of human experience across myriad cultures and eras. The author emphasizes the transformative potential of folk songs as both a literary form and a historical document. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
