Fifty "bab" Ballads: Much Sound And Little Sense

Cover Fifty "bab" Ballads: Much Sound And Little Sense
Genres: Fiction » Drama
A collection of comic verse published roughly between 1865 and 1871 by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The “Bab Ballads” appeared originally in the columns of “Fun”, when that periodical was under the editorship of the late Tom Hood. They were subsequently republished in two volumes, one called “The Bab Ballads”, the other “More Bab Ballads”. The period during which they were written extended over some three or four years; many, however, were composed hastily, and under the discomforting necessity of having to turn out a quantity of lively verse by a certain day in every week.
