Interesting. I'm not a member of Jstor so I can't access the rest of the article in JAFL. I don't agree with Coffin. Child 1 and Child 2 certainly have early versions that perhaps were not available to Coffin. Yes, 3 doesn't appear until the 19th century and could easily be one of the many Child ballads concocted by the editors at that time. |
