Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bunderley Boggard and Other Plays The appearance of a volume of plays, written throughout in the Yorkshire dialect, and interpreting the life and thought of the great working-class community in the West Riding, is a notable event in the history of our local dialect literature. Dialect poems, short stories, sketches and almanacs have for a long time made their way through the press and won a welcome from lovers of dialect literature, but I believe that this is the first occasion on which a volume of dialect plays has been published in Yorkshire. There was a time when the county was rich in dialect plays. The Mystery plays of the York and Wakefield Corpus Christi Cycles, together with those of Beverley, which have, unfortunately, been lost, prove that in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries Yorkshiremen were keenly interested in drama and were taking a leading part in that great work of dramatic construction which was to culminate some two centuries later, in the masterpieces of Shakespeare and his associates. But the dramatic instinct of Yorkshiremen seems to have been crushed by the Reformation, and the great social and cultural changes which followed in its train, so that local drama, apart from the survival of the venerable folk play of St. George, which our Christmas "peace eggers" have kept alive, has for centuries been in abeyance. Yet the county never lost its love for drama and the stage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
