| Abstract: | There are many ways how History can be written and presented to the general reader; these vary from a mere chronology of events to a detailed analysis of what caused events to happen and how they changed the course of history. There are however other colourful ways how to narrate historical occurrences without the use of prose. I have in mind the ballad, which is basically a poem or song narrating a story in stanzas. “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Oscar Wilde’s “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” are two of the most renowned ballads in English history. |
