Note 1 — Chapter VII · POETIC IN ANCIENT DRAMA AND NARRATIVE

See F. B. Gummere’s Beginnings of Poetry. The controversy which was spread by the Homeric studies of Wolf, has lately shifted to the popular ballad. See G. L. Kittredge’s introduction to his one-volume selection of the English and Scottish Popular Ballads from the collection of Child, Boston, 1904, and the recent studies of Professor Louise Pound. J. A. Scott maintains The Unity of Homer in his University of California Lectures, 1921.
