Quelltext der Seite Bab Ballads

[[Datei:Bab Ballads.jpg|mini|Einband einer Ausgabe von 1898 der ''Bab Ballads'']]

'''Bab Ballads''' ist eine Reihe illustrierter humoristischer Gedichte von [[William Schwenck Gilbert|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 [[Operette]]n 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.

== Entstehungsgeschichte ==
Die ''Bab Ballads'' begannen mit einem illustrierten Artikel, den Gilbert der wöchentlich erscheinenden Zeitschrift ''Fun'' sandte. Daraufhin nahm er das Angebot des ''Fun'' an, zu jeder Ausgabe eine Spalte Text und eine Illustration beizutragen. Daneben lieferte Gilbert weitere Artikel, Gedichte und Theaterkritiken für die Zeitschrift. Der erste bekannte Beitrag Gilberts für den ''Fun'' ist eine mit „Some mistake here“ betitelte Zeichnung auf Seite 56 der Ausgabe vom 26. Oktober 1861. Die ersten Artikel, die er in die Gedichtesammlung aufnahm, erschienen 1865. Wegen seiner größeren Bekanntheit als Librettist schrieb Gilbert ab 1870 nur noch wenige ''Bab-Ballad''-Gedichte. Eine erste Ausgabe der gesammelten ''Bab Ballads'' erschien 1868. Die in den folgenden Jahren erschienenen Ausgaben enthalten weitere Gedichte. Eine allgemein anerkannte Liste von Werken, die als ''Bab Ballads'' gelten, existiert nicht.

== Liste von ''Bab Ballads'' ==
Die folgende Tabelle listet alle Bab Ballads auf, die in Ellis (1970) enthalten sind. Die zweite Spalte nennt die Zeitschrift, in der die Gedichte ursprünglich veröffentlicht wurden, und die dritte Spalte enthält die Gedichtesammlungen, in denen sie enthalten sind. Die folgenden Abkürzungen werden verwendet:

Beginnend mit „Mister William“ wies Gilbert den meisten Gedichten, die im ''Fun'' erschienen, eine Nummer zu. Diese Nummern werden in der zweiten Spalte nach der Quelle aufgeführt.
