Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Though an effort has been made to bring the record of Arnold's letters to a reasonable degree of completeness, it is recognized that in a work of this sort finaility is not attainable and that any approximation to completeness needs the help of all holders, individual or institutional, of Arnold letters and of all students of Arnold and of his Victorian contemporaries and background. A Major purpose of this book, by its nature somewhat preliminary, is to bring out of hiding any letters that have so far eluded my search and to correct any errors that may still remain in [site of efforts to detect and eliminate them. 429 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. etc.).…

Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket Issued. First Edition, First Printing. PRESERVING VIRGINIA'S MUSICAL HERITAGE. Arthur Kyle Davis devoted much of his scholarly career to documenting the traditional songs carried through Virginia's mountains, valleys, and rural communities before they disappeared from living memory. Rather than presenting musical arrangements, this landmark reference systematically records the remarkable body of material collected by the Virginia Folklore Society, creating an indispensable guide for scholars, collectors, musicians, and students of American folk traditions. Expanding substantially upon Davis's earlier 1925 publication, this volume broadens its scope beyond traditional ballads to embrace the full range of Virginia's folk-song heritage. A ROADMAP TO AN ORAL TRADITION. Each entry identifies the local title, opening line, collector, singer, Virginia county of origin, date of collection, and number of recorded stanzas. By preserving both the songs and the circumstances of their collection, Davis transformed scattered fieldwork into a coherent research tool that continues to serve folklorists, ethnomusicologists, genealogists, and historians of Appalachian culture. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Publisher's blue cloth, lettered in gilt. Octavo; 9 inches tall; lxiii, 389 pages. Includes an extensive Index of Titles and First Lines. CONDITION: Very Good: Bindings are tight and square. Text is clean with light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear consistent with age. A solid, well-preserved first edition. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: DOCUMENTING AN ORAL TRADITION-BEYOND THE BALLADS Unlike Davis's pioneering 1925 study, which concentrated primarily on traditional ballads, this expanded bibliography embraces the entire spectrum of Virginia folk song. The result is a far more comprehensive survey of the state's musical traditions and one of the foundational reference works in American folklore studies. THE VIRGINIA FOLKLORE SOCIETY AT WORK. The volume reflects decades of field collecting conducted under the auspices of the Virginia Folklore Society. By carefully documenting the singers, collectors, locations, and textual variants, Davis preserved not merely songs but the cultural communities that sustained them, creating an enduring record of regional traditions before rapid social change transformed rural America. A FOUNDATION FOR FOLKLORE RESEARCH. For generations, scholars of American folk music have relied upon this descriptive index to locate source material, compare variants, and trace the transmission of songs across communities. It remains an important bibliographic cornerstone for the study of Appalachian music, Anglo-American ballad traditions, and Southern folk culture.
