Richie Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3 (135* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3 12 Jul 18

Hi,

SPB Cooperator, elaborate of Carpenter's thesis please :)

I've just read the posts more carefully and it's clear in Clare's version that the motive for the murder is jealousy and is evidence that in several versions the brother was asked permission yet still stabs his sister. In the notes it says, "Clare’s text provides a useful link between the broadside texts of the seventeenth century and the versions subsequently collected. . ."

What are the broadside texts of the seventeenth century?

Richie
