Summary: "Popular British Ballads, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 3" edited by R. Brimley Johnson is a collection of British ballads compiled during the late 19th century. This anthology features a mix of romantic, historical, and narrative poems that reflect the cultural and social themes of the time. The ballads included are likely to explore themes of love, loss, and adventure, capturing the essence of the human experience in poetic form. The opening of this volume presents several ballads, beginning with a narrative featuring a hermit who offers comfort to a forlorn stranger. In a heartfelt exchange, the stranger reveals his grief over lost love, leading to the hermit's philosophical reflections on love and the transient nature of happiness. Following this, we encounter the tale of fair Eleanor and other poignant stories, weaving together the themes of love, despair, and the supernatural elements of fate and destiny, setting the tone for the rich tapestry of emotions and stories contained within the collected ballads.
