About: Bab Ballads

An Entity of Type: book, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The Bab Ballads is a collection of light verses by W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911), illustrated with his own comic drawings. The book takes its title from Gilbert's childhood nickname. He later began to sign his illustrations "Bab". Gilbert wrote the "ballads" collected in the book before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing these verses Gilbert developed his "topsy-turvy" style in which the humour is derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humour.

dbo:abstract
  • Bab Ballads ist eine Reihe illustrierter humoristischer Gedichte von W. S. Gilbert. Der Humor der Bab Ballads basiert auf einer verrückten Ausgangssituation, aus der sich absurde Schlussfolgerungen ergeben. Dieser Stil, der als “topsyturvydom” („Auf-den-Kopf-stellen“) bezeichnet wurde, findet sich auch in den späteren Operetten von Gilbert und Sullivan. Die Bezeichnung Bab Ballads geht auf den Kosenamen „Bab“ zurück, den Gilbert als Kind trug, und mit dem er auch ab 1866 seine Illustrationen regelmäßig signierte. (de)

The ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humour. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert recycled in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. They were read aloud at private dinner-parties, at public banquets and even in the House of Lords. The ballads have been much published, and some have been recorded or otherwise adapted. (en)
  • Le Bab Ballads sono una raccolta di versi satirici di W. S. Gilbert, illustrate con delle caricature realizzate dallo stesso autore. Gilbert scrisse le Ballads prima di diventare famoso per la stesura dei libretti per le opere comiche realizzate con il musicista Arthur Sullivan. Scrivendo le Bab Ballads, Gilbert mise in atto il suo stile narrativo, dove la comicità derivava dall'impostare una premessa ridicola e lavorarvi sopra, fino alle logiche conseguenze per quanto assurde potessero essere. Le Ballads rivelano inoltre l'approccio cinico e satirico messo in atto da Gilbert per raccontare le sue storie. Esse divennero famose in sé stesse anche se spesso vennero poi utilizzate nella stesura dei soggetti delle opere del duo Gilbert e Sullivan. Le Bab Ballads presero il loro nome dal nomignolo che aveva Gilbert da bambino, a seguito del fatto che l'autore iniziò a firmare le sue illustrazioni con la sigla "Bab". Niente è mai stato prodotto in lingua inglese di simile alle Ballads. Esse contengono in uno satira e nonsenso, oltre a una grande quantità di assurdità. Le Ballads venivano lette durante i ricevimenti nelle case private, nel corso di banchetti pubblici e anche alla Camera dei Lords. Di esse vennero realizzate innumerevoli pubblicazioni e vi sono ancora delle registrazioni sonore di alcune delle più note. (it)
