About The Book: A ballad is a poetic verse often accompanied by music, and it remained popular in British and Irish poetry and music from the late medieval period until the 19th century. It also found its way to the Americas, Australia, and North Africa. Many ballads were written and sold as single sheet broadsides. During the 18th century, poets and composers used this form to create lyrical ballads. Later in the 19th century, ballads evolved into slow, popular love songs. Today, the term "power ballad" is synonymous with love songs, especially in the pop or rock genre, and became associated with heavy metal bands in the 1980s. Examples include Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive." About The Author: William Waterfield (1832-1907) was an Indian civil servant.
