Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Folk-Speech of Cumberland and Some Districts Adjacent: Being Short Stories and Rhymes, in the Dialects of the West Border Counties One or two of the Cumberland stories included in this volume, as well as some of the pieces in rhyme, have already been circulated very largely in newspapers, pamphlets, and collections. Their reappearance, along with many hitherto unpublished additions, in this aggregated form, is due mainly to the popularity attained by them separately. Whether they may be as popular in this more pretentious guise as in their humbler, and perhaps, more appropriate form, remains to be tried. I claim superiority over most of the earlier workers in the same philological ground in respect of the greater purity of my dialect The Cumberland speech as written herein is pure Cumbrian, as the speech of the Scottish pieces, introduced for variety´s sake, is pure Scotch.
