Robert Jamieson was een Schotse antiquaar en verzamelaar van ballades wiens ijverige werk veel mondelinge overlevering bewaarde die anders verloren zou zijn gegaan. Zijn uitgebreide verzameling traditionele ballades en liederen, aangevuld met zijn eigen lyrische composities, onthulde fascinerende verbanden tussen Schotse en Scandinavische legendes. Jamieson's nauwgezette onderzoek en zijn vaardigheid in het ontdekken van verbanden tussen verschillende culturele tradities leverden hem de achting van zijn tijdgenoten op en lieten een blijvende erfenis na op het gebied van folkloreverzameling en -studie.
