Jack Campin | Origins: Dives and Lazarus (20) | RE: Origins: Dives and Lazarus | 14 Nov 20 |
It's sad that so few religious folksongs survived the Reformation. Southern European folk music is full of them, and Biblical folktales are common in mediaeval English poetry. Rather than a product of Victorian censoriousness, Dives and Lazarus is a rare survival of Elizabethan repression. |
