In addition to the continual anthologizing, teaching, and singing of the ballad itself, elements of the ballad can be traced in consequent \u201cafterlife\u201d works of poetry, music, prose, film, and fine art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Although its historical origins and authorship is unclear, &#8216;Spens&#8217; remains one of the most read and anthologized of the British popular ballads.
