Wuthering Heights137 words~1 min read

A note on the dialect: Although confusing at first glance, Joseph’s speeches, and most of the phonetic Yorkshire dialect in Wuthering Heights, can be understood if sounded out. Readers may also wish to consult the following publications by K. M. Petyt: Emily Brontë and the Haworth Dialect, available from the Yorkshire Dialect Society, 1970, http://www.leeds.ac.uk/english/activities/publications/yds.html or “The Dialect Speech in Wuthering Heights,” Appendix VII to Wuthering Heights, ed. Hilda Marsden and Ian Jack (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976), 500–513. A good general introduction to Yorkshire speak may be found online at http://www.yorksj.ac.uk/dialect/.
