Dialect Verse from the Ridings

Description

48 collected poems and ballads from across the three Ridings. 

Well known authors such as Gwen Wade, Arthur Jarratt, Bill Cowley, and Clare Ellin are represented, with a brief introduction by Stanley Ellis explaining some of the difficulty in categorising by geography instead of sound.

Attributions include the Riding of origin, and a knowledgable reader will be able to adjust the accent accordingly.

A simple Glossary is provided
