Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from West-Country Verses The present volume is a collection of the West of England verses published in my ´West-Country Ballads and Verses´ (Blackwood, 1899), and ´Lyrics and Verses´ (Blackwood, 1902), with some additions that have not yet been issued in volume-form. The dialect is mainly that of Devonshire, but some of the pieces are equally representative of that of Somerset, where the same old Wessex speech lingers. The chief difference between the two counties is in the tone and inflection of the vowel-sounds. There is considerable similarity also in the dialect of Dorset, as will be noted by readers of William Barnes.
