Item description from seller

Neuware - The dialect of Eastwood lies at the heart of many of Lawrence's best-loved works. It is unique to the local community in which he grew up and in which many of his works were set. In this indispensable study Hilary Hillier presents a framework for understanding the dialect, tracing the key elements of its grammar and its accent, and detailing ways in which these differ from so-called 'correct' English. Each feature is illustrated by examples from both Lawrence's works and contemporary speech to demonstrate how this dialect continues to live in the Eastwood area today. Talking Lawrence reveals the precision with which Lawrence's use of language exposes significant social distinctions between his characters.
