Moorman, a Leeds professor who had already edited an anthology of Yorkshire dialect verse, here publishes his own. A dalesman’s litany, a poem on the Roman fort of Cambodunum, telling the bees, lamplighters, a beck and a fisher-girl’s wedding are set down in the speech of the Ridings.

A delight for lovers of English dialect and the north country. Download the free EPUB.
