Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 28
A recent writer dealing with the subject of negro folk-song, its social and psychological antecedents, in the course of his exposition, makes the following statement:
"In the 'Downward Road is Crowded,' a mournful picture is given of the sinner who failed to repent. His example is held up for the contemplation of those who are following in his steps.
Young people who delight in sin,
I tell you what I lately seen,
A po' godless sinner die,
And he said, 'In hell I soon'll lie!"
Hark, the downward road is crowded, crowded, crowded,
Yes, the downward road is crowded with onbelievin' souls.
He call his mother to his bed,
An' these is the dyin' words he said,
'Mother, mother, I long farewell,
Your wicked son is damned in hell.'
He dance an' play hisself away,
An' still put off his dyin' day,
Until at las' ole death was sent,
An' it 'us too late fer him to repent."
That this is too sophisticated even for a negro preacher, and bears moreover, too certain evidence of a literary origin, seems not to have suggested itself. There is nothing in it of the irregularity of structure and incoherence that marks genuine negro folk-songs of the type of Roll, Jordan, roll! or Swing low, sweet Chariot, evident creations out of the white heat of religious fervor, and surrounded by the atmosphere of the camp-meeting. What we have in fact, is a versified crude sermon, a homiletic discourse in ballad form. Instances of the religious, nay even of the homiletical or theological ballad, it may be stated in passing, are found even in the older strate of English folk-song, - we may cite The Cherry Tree Carol, The Carnal and the Crane, Dives and Lazarus, not to mention the lately discovered Bitter Withy. The ballad at present under discussion is doubly interesting, not only as an instance of the homiletic application of the ballad idea, but also as being one of the few attested American traditional ballads.
Given a theme in its simplest form, - "young person lives a worldly life, rejects means of grace, and, dying, is numbered with the lost," familiar enough in the discourses of evangelists from the time of the Great Awakening on, - it appears that two closely similar developments of it in American balladry have taken place. We cannot fairly call them two ballads, in the sense that Baby Lon and Edward are two ballads. The one is a counterpart of the other.
The material at hand may here be put in evidence.
Theme: Impenitent-sinner-lost.
Form I. The Downward Road.
A. Lamentable Death of Polly.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the lives, works, and personal relationships of Heinrich Heine, Karl Immermann, and Count August von Platen - three writers all born in 1797 and regarded by many critics as both brilliant and flawed. It delves into the literary disputes, rivalries, and cross-pollination of ideas that marked their interactions. The author explores their distinctive contributions to German literature and examines the role each played amid the major literary currents of their time. This includes Immermann's work as a playwright, novelist, and literary critic, Heine's poetry, journalism, and travel writing, and Platen's lyric, epic, and dramatic works. By analyzing the triangular relationship between these three important writers while situating their work within the broader context of German literature from the late 18th through the mid-19th century, this volume opens new perspectives on how personal relations impact literary production. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330495681_0
