Richie Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads (132* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads 21 Mar 18


Hi,

Steve: All texts are up, the complete list is here with my headnotes- roughed in for now: http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/brittish--other-versions-of-false-knight-.aspx The British versions are attached on this page. I also included info from Minton's article and his method of classification which is also flawed.

Brian: The Coates/Gentry is a distinct form as found in Quinn's version and Niles version also. Perhaps this form is a way to group these versions.

All: I only have two versions of the French-Canadian: "Où Vas-Tu, Mon Petit Garçon?" but there are more-- for now I'm moving on.

I need help identifying this Carpenter text mislabeled Roud 21 which should be Roud 12. It's a very complete version of Child A, Elfin Knight:
https://www.vwml.org/search?q=RN21%20Carpenter&is=1 There's no information about it at VWML, a mystery text but an excellent one. I can't read the words in pen in top right corner: A-- Gigine "e" or make sense of it. I guess I need to contact whoever is in charge of putting the texts on VWML for info. How do I do that?

Richie
