The Grasmere Dialect Plays - regional heritage research

The Grasmere Dialect Plays - regional heritage research

A 2024 graduate of the MA Literature, Romanticism and the Lake District, Sue Wilkinson, has had a 3-page article on the Grasmere Dialect Plays published in 'Cumbria Life' magazine.

The magazine article is based on the research into the plays which Sue conducted as part of her final MA Dissertation, which uncovered the history of these plays as well as the regional stories and discourse which they record and celebrate.
