John Hartley’s ‘Yorkshire Ditties, First Series’ is a delightful collection of dialect poems that offer a glimpse into the everyday life and culture of rural Yorkshire in the 19th century. Written in the vernacular of the region, the poems capture the humor, warmth, and resilience of the Yorkshire people, making them both entertaining and insightful. Hartley’s use of dialect adds authenticity to his work, immersing the reader in the rich linguistic tapestry of the countryside. The poems in this collection are characterized by their simplicity, wit, and poignant observations, making it a valuable contribution to the genre of dialect poetry. John Hartley, a native of Yorkshire himself, drew inspiration from his own experiences and upbringing in the region. His deep connection to Yorkshire’s landscapes and people shines through in his poetry, making ‘Yorkshire Ditties, First Series’ a genuine and authentic portrayal of the region. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in dialect poetry, regional literature, or those simply looking for a charming and insightful read.
