06 May 02 - 08:53 AM (#705168) Subject: Adaptations of Tam Lin and Demon Lover From: GUEST,Aghadoe Hello folks, I am looking for contemporary literary adaptations of the Scottish ballads 'Tam Lin' and 'Demon Lover'. Short stories, poems mainly - but also all the rest of it. They should be in English or translated into English. And if they are famous or part of mainstream culture that would be even better. Any hints? Yours Aghadoe |

They are done in comic book form but with exceptional pen and ink line drawing. Twa Corbies is also done in the books. Don |

I should have tried typing it in the first place...) If anybody knows more, you're still welcome... |

I would expect it to be present in eastern Canada, but would like to know if a version has ben collected in the southeastern states. I have checked Child, Cox and Randolph. Don't have Brown. |

08 May 02 - 10:18 AM (#706670) Subject: RE: Help: Adaptations of Tam Lin and Demon Lover From: GUEST,Aghadoe Again, many thanks. Curiously enough the majority of the contemporary adoptions of Tam Lin and Demon Lover mentioned here are done by American authors. Except for a poem by Liz Lochhead I have not come across any new versions, which are actually Scottish. Have you? |

12 May 02 - 01:50 PM (#709553) Subject: RE: Help: Adaptations of Tam Lin and Demon Lover From: Malcolm Douglas For Dicho's benefit, the Roud Index lists no versions of Tam Lin from Canada, and only one variant (well, technically two) from the USA, noted around 1932 by Dorothy Scarborough from Margaret Widdemer, with one stanza from Elinor Wylie, and first printed in Songcatcher (1937). Bronson quotes it, with the comment, "The text as a whole appears to be refashioned, perhaps in good part on Child's D". The song has rarely been found outside Scotland, though a scattering of variants, some very fragmentary, have turned up in Ulster. |
