Around 1800 there was an increasing amount of attention paid to the store of Faroese folk ballads (kvaeoi), which survived in the oral tradition and were sung as an accompaniment to Faroese dancing. Even before 1800 Jens Christian Svabo had recorded ballads, but collecting got under way seriously after 1800, and names like Johan Henrik Schroter, Joannes i Kroki and later on, V. U. Hammershaimb can be mentioned in this regard. The old ballads were seen as having special historical value, but there was also interest in more recent ballads, e.g. comic ballads (tattur), and new ballads were composed in the old style. One poet who attracts particular notice is Jens Christian Djurhuus (1773-1853), who was a farmer in Kollafjorour. The most famous of his works is Ormurin Langi, "The Ballad of the Long Serpent." His most individual work, however, is perhaps Pukaljomur (The Devils Ballad), a religious epic based on a Danish translation of Paradise Lost by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. Otherwise he mainly takes the subject matter for his ballads from the Norse sagas, e.g. Heimskringla (The Chronicle of the Kings of Norway) and Faereyinga Saga, the story of how the Faroes were converted to Christianity under Sigmundur Brestisson and with ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=22We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
