Narrative technique
This is a cumulative story that does not tell the story of Jack's house, or even Jack who built the house, but instead shows how the house is indirectly related to things and others, and through this method tells the story "The man was all ragged and torn ", and" Maiden all sad ", as well as other small events, showing how this is intertwined.
Origins
It has been argued that the poem is derived from an Aramaic hymn Chad Gadya lit. , "One Young Goat") in Sepher Haggadah , first printed in 1590 ; but even though this is an early cumulative story that may have inspired its form, the lyrics have little connection. It was suggested by James Orchard Halliwell that the reference to "shaved and shaved priests" suggests that the English version might be very old, perhaps as far back as the mid-sixteenth century. There is a possible reference to the song in New Boston Letter on April 12, 1739 and the line: "This is a very sad person, & amp; c". However, it does not appear in print until it is included in the New Year's Gift of Truelove Nurse, or Books for Children, printed in London in 1755. It was printed in various collections in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Randolph Caldecott produced an illustrated version in 1878.
Cherrington Manor, a handsome framed wooden house in North East Shropshire, England, is famous for being Jack's real home. There is a former malt house in the yard.
Syntactic structure
Each sentence in the story is an example of a deeply nested relative clause. The final version, "This horse...", will be very difficult to unload if the previous one does not exist. See Noun Phrase for more details on postmodification of noun phrases in this way.
