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

I checked out the Swedish (language) relative of Child 3 referred to in the PhD thesis linked above. Very interesting. I think it is pretty obscure --- the text is printed in a Finnish-language title (from Finland of course). It's certainly not anything I had seen before. Anyway, the form of the whole ballad seems very close to the Child 3 versions. Much more so than a lot of the so-called correspondences with Scandinavian ballads ...
