Summary "English Songs and Ballads" by T. W. H. Crosland is a compilation of well-known poetic pieces from various authors, indicating its origin in the late 19th to early 20th century. This collection brings together English songs and ballads that are likely to resonate with the general taste, rather than the compiler's individual preferences. It serves as an anthology of celebrated works that reflect the rich heritage of English poetry. The opening of the anthology presents a note that outlines the compiler's intention to curate poems that resonate with a broad audience. Following this, an index of first lines gives readers an immediate overview of the diverse selection within the collection, spanning various themes and emotions expressed in English poetry. The first excerpt introduces a song titled "My Swete Sweting," showcasing themes of love and affection, while also hinting at other poetic works included in the compilation. The collection overall serves as a window into the poetic landscape of English literature, illustrating the emotional depth and stylistic variety present in traditional songs and ballads.
