By Morgan J. Sweeney and Charles Follen Adams

Book Overview

Dialect Ballads is a collection of poems written by Charles Follen Adams and originally published in 1888. The poems are written in various dialects, including Irish, Scottish, and New England, and are meant to be read aloud in the accents of their respective regions. The subjects of the poems range from humorous tales of everyday life to sentimental reflections on love and loss. Many of the poems feature working-class characters and explore the struggles and joys of their lives. Adams was known for his ability to capture the unique rhythms and cadences of different dialects, and his work was praised for its authenticity and humor.
