"The thousand years of Slovene cultural history have witnessed three great miracles: the Freising Manuscripts, Primoz Trubar, and France Preseren, whose creative output in the period of High Romanticism, specially between the years 1824 and 1849, managed to trenscend the scope of the national and markedly provincial literary heritage, which thus rose among the crowning achievements of the European literary tradition. The principal ail of this book is precisely to facilitate the apprehension of Slovenia's first and foremost poet by presenting only the best translations of his poems into English. Several have been introduced before in various publications, whereas some were commissioned exclusively for this occasion."--Book cover.

V zborniku je petindvajset razprav raziskovalcev iz vsega sveta od Anglije, Bolgarije, Danske, Finske, Hrvaške, Madžarske, Makedonije, Mehike, Romunije, Rusije, Škotske, Walesa do ZDA in seveda Slovenije. Razprave so pregled mednarodnega raziskovanja ljudskih balad in predstavljajo, kako se tokovi preteklega in odsevi zgodovinskih časov, arhetipske zgodbe prepletajo z vdorom naših kulturnih in družbenih razmer tudi v nastajanje, odmiranje in ponovno oživljanje balad, tako da njihovo raziskovanje prinaša neizogibne spremembe.
