Thread Name: Ballads: Edward vs 2 Brothers
Subject: RE: Ballads: Edward vs 2 Brothers
In the Suffolk Miracle the dead lover is keeping a promised appointment with her and begging back his "plighted troth" to end his entanglements to the living, or so some professor said once.
I'm going to go look up some Two Brothers, since I do not remember any that involve a lover at all (beyond what shall I tell her when I get home), much less rising from the dead or having the woman present. I'll come back with a count from Child and others shortly.
