This three-volume collection of historical ballads, compiled from multiple sources by Thomas Percy (1729-1811), achieved great popularity upon its publication in 1765. It generated much interest in the genre, undented by Percy's oft-criticised editorial practices. The collection includes ballads of Chevy Chase and Robin Hood, as well as Scottish examples.
