Mirror of a Shire by Charles Wilson
To mark the 150th anniversary of the poet's birth Charles Wilson, Cambridge historian, speaks about Tennyson's little-known Lincolnshire poems—' all of the earth and earthy, grim, filled with the hard shrewd cunning of village life, yet also full of affection, humour, and understanding.' He shows how these poems illuminate not only a little-known aspect of the poet's personality but the society of the poet's own shire.
Mr. Wilson illustrates his talk with his own readings in the dialect he knew as a child in Lincolnshire.
