Synopsis
Excerpt from Greek Folk-Songs From the Turkish Provinces of Greece Albania, Thessaly, (Not Yet Wholly Free) And Macedonia: Literal and Metrical Translations
Those Nationalist Antiquarian Researches, to which the chief impulse was given by the enthusiasm excited by Macpherson's Ossian (1760), have developed, in the course of the century since then, into Comparative and Scientific Studies of Folk-life and Folk-lore. The results, however, obtained by that earlier Antiquarianism had an immense effect on the writing, or rather, in most cases, the rewriting of National Histories; nor was History affected only in its facts by Antiquarian results, but in its style by Antiquarian imagination - and this especially through the influence of those novels of Sir Walter Scott's, which constitute a single great Romance of European History. But if that earlier Antiquarianism, painstaking, yet, in general, sufficiently prejudiced as it was, had effects so great on the writing of History; still greater things may, I think, be expected from Antiquarianism developed as it now is into a Comparative Science of Folk-life and Folk-lore. If, like the earlier Antiquarianism, this new Comparative Science has a sphere of influence corresponding to its scope of study, it should cause the rewriting, not of mere National Histories, but of the General History of Civilization. Nor is this an inference merely from the greater scope of the New Antiquarianism.

Greek Folk-Songs From the Turkish Provinces of Greece Albania, Thessaly
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Greek folk songs and their connection to ancient pagan beliefs. The author argues that despite the spread of Christianity, paganism has persisted in the hearts and minds of the Greek people, finding expression in their traditional songs and stories. The book meticulously explores how these folk songs demonstrate a profound connection with nature, a distinct lack of awareness of sin in sexual love, and a strong sense of family and patriotic devotion to Greece. By comparing Greek folk songs with those of other Christian cultures, the author unveils the enduring presence of pagan traditions even in the face of a dominant religious framework. This book provides unique insight into the continuity of Greek cultural identity, revealing how ancient beliefs have remained embedded in the very fabric of Greek life and folklore.
