Hello, just happened to see your blog in a Facebook post to Kristin Borgehed. On the website of the Centre for Swedish Folk Music and Jazz Research there is a rather extensive web presentation of the Swedish Medieval Ballads, written by me, now also in English, on this link: https://musikverket.se/svensktvisarkiv/medeltida-ballader/?lang=en . And I suppose you know about the edition Swedish Medieval Ballads in 5 volumes (7 books)? Greetings, Ingrid
ReplyDeleteThanks Ingrid, I have added it now. I have actually linked to that site in one or two places from ballad blog posts, but you are quite right, it should definitely be here on this links page. I am on the Musikverket site a fair bit! Thanks for pointing this out. Hälsningar //Ian
