Dorset Dialect Poems Underworth The Dorset Life
A review of William Barnes and other poets notes Barnes’s strong Dorset dialect voice but criticizes lapses in form and overuse of color in some pieces. It praises Poems of Rural Life in the Dorset Dialect while finding later poets Wollaston Butler and Sturges flawed, some with Latin missteps and egotism, and questions overall merit.
