Produktdetails
Yorkshire Dialect Poems (1673-1915) and Traditional Poems is both anthology and act of cultural preservation, gathering more than two centuries of verse in the speech of Yorkshire's ridings. Its contents range from broadside humour, rustic song, and local satire to elegiac and devotional pieces, revealing dialect not as comic distortion but as a supple literary medium. Set against the wider nineteenth-century interest in folklore, philology, and regional identity, the collection restores vernacular poetry to its proper historical seriousness. F. W. Moorman, a scholar of English language and literature at the University of Leeds, was especially attuned to the relation between place, speech, and literary inheritance. His academic training in medieval and dialect studies, together with his Yorkshire surroundings, informed a project that is at once editorial, linguistic, and patriotic in the best sense: an effort to record forms of expression threatened by standardization and social change. This volume is recommended to readers interested in dialect literature, English regional culture, folk tradition, and the history of popular poetry. It offers not merely curiosities of pronunciation, but living evidence of how communities remember, mock, mourn, and celebrate themselves in their own tongue.
