"So when tha cooms to Yorkshire, don't be tekken for a
fool'.
Yorkshire Voices explores what it means to write in the
local dialect.
Based on archive material generously donated by authors and
their families, this exhibition celebrates the work of four very different
writers: novelist Arthur Eaglestone, pitman and poet Tom Hague, novelist and
playwright Barry Hines, singer and poet Cathy Lovett. Each writes about a different time and a
different part of Yorkshire, and their reasons for writing differ. But each captures something about the people
of Yorkshire and the way they speak.
