Beskrivelse af Bab Ballads and Savoy Songs
Bab Ballads and Savoy Songs is a collection of humorous poems and songs written by the renowned British playwright and librettist, William S. Gilbert. The book contains a total of 62 ballads and songs, each with its unique style and wit. The Bab Ballads, which were first published in the 1860s, are satirical poems that poke fun at Victorian society, politics, and culture. They are known for their clever wordplay, absurd scenarios, and Gilbert's signature wit. The Savoy Songs, on the other hand, are songs that Gilbert wrote for the operettas he created with composer Arthur Sullivan. These songs are more lighthearted and romantic, with catchy melodies and clever lyrics. The book also includes illustrations by Gilbert himself, adding to the whimsical and playful nature of the collection. Overall, Bab Ballads and Savoy Songs is a delightful read for anyone who enjoys witty and humorous poetry and songs.1925.
