By Sarah Hewett

The Peasant Speech of Devon: And Other Matters Connected Therewith is a book written by Sarah Hewett. The book explores the language and dialect used by peasants in the county of Devon in England. The author delves into the history and evolution of the language, and provides examples of the unique vocabulary and grammar used by the Devonshire peasants. In addition to the language itself, Hewett also discusses the culture and way of life of the Devonshire peasants, including their customs, beliefs, and traditions. The book is a fascinating look at a little-known aspect of English language and culture, and provides insight into the lives of rural people in 19th century England.
