Summary "Popular British Ballads, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 4 (of 4)" edited by R. Brimley Johnson is a collection of traditional ballads written in the late 19th century. This volume compiles various poignant and narrative-rich songs that reflect the themes of love, loss, and folklore typical of British storytelling. The anthology includes pieces like “The High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire” and others that highlight the emotional depth of both personal and historical events embedded in British culture. The opening of this collection features a series of ballads, beginning with “The High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire,” which captures a dramatic tale of a rising tide threatening a village and the accompanying emotional turmoil of a family impacted by this disaster. The narrative revolves around the old mayor’s efforts to rally the bell ringers to alert the town, introducing characters such as the speaker reflecting on their son’s wife, Elizabeth, who is missing amid the chaos. This excerpt sets a tone of urgency and heartfelt concern, setting up the collection’s focus on narratives that weave human experiences with the emotive landscape of the British countryside.
