Yarndale and the Clash of Dissent in Lancashire Life
A long critical notice evaluates Yarndale as a social portrait of Mudlington and Ancoats in Lancashire. It praises Monkhouse’s eye for character yet criticizes its barbed depictions of Dissenters and excessive opening chapters. The review discusses authorial voice, potential bias, and the work’s unity with broader religious history.
