Ballads Weird and Wonderful

Before Poe, before Coleridge, before Blake, the otherworld was cast in verse by nameless bards of the ancient Scottish ballad tradition. The ballad is our usual vehicle for the heroic and the tragic, but in the mirky forests of medieval Britain, a witches' brew of Celtic, Germanic, and Christian ingredients gave us another tradition.
