Centering on the theme of story variation, the book examines ballad variation in general, treats the development of the traditional ballad into an art form, and provides a bibliographical guide to story variation as well as a general bibliography of titles referred to in the guide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRoger deV. Renwick's supplement to \u003ci\u003eThe British Traditional Ballad in North America\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough review of all sources of North American ballad materials published from 1963, the date of the last revision of the original volume, to 1977. The references, which include published text fragments and published title lists of items in archival collections, are arranged according to each ballad's story variations. Textual and thematic comparisons among ballads in the British and American tradition are made throughout. In his introductory essay Renwick synthesizes the various theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of variation that have appeared in scholarly publications since 1963 and provides examples from texts referred to in the bibliographical guide itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe supplement, like its parent work, is an invaluable reference tool for the study of variation in ballad form, content, and style.
