概要

• 論文の詳細を見る

• This article examines the social context of the Child ballad Sir Hugh. It gives the historical circumstances surrounding the ballad's origins. It goes on to look at printed versions collected from oral sources and then at the relatively few available commercial recordings of the song. It concludes that while the song is undoubtedly anti-Semitic historically, more recent versions have shed the historical context, changing the ballad into just another creepy murder story. Thus it is possible and permissible to continue to sing the ballad.
