Other poets, notably Robert Burns and William Barnes of Dorset, have written beautiful and delightful poems in dialect, but only Tennyson has used dialect in dramatic monologue to recreate the life and character of the countryside in which he spent his youth. The mid-Lincolnshire speech of the early nineteenth century was singularly rich and vivid, as were the personalities of the farmers and rustics who used it. Tennyson was a connoisseur of language and character and he made the most of his opportunities. [Quote taken from the Foreword by Charles Tennyson] ***An indispensable copy of a work of great value to those who are interested in the Lincolnshire dialect poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson. An uncommon book. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.***.
