VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Gone to the War and other poems in the Lincolnshire Dialect by Bernard Gilbert Summary: Gone to the War and Other Poems in the Lincolnshire Dialect is a 1915 poetry collection by Bernard Gilbert, written during the early years of the First World War. The book uses the Lincolnshire dialect to portray how the war affected ordinary rural people rather than focusing mainly on battlefield experiences. Summary The collection explores the impact of war on farming communities in Lincolnshire. Through poems spoken by farm workers, soldiers, wives, mothers, and sweethearts, Gilbert depicts:
A key feature of the book is its use of local speech and vocabulary. Gilbert preserves the sounds and expressions of Lincolnshire rural life, giving the poems authenticity and making them a valuable record of regional culture as well as wartime experience. The collection is notable because it presents the First World War from the perspective of rural eastern England. While many famous war poets focused on trench warfare, Gilbert emphasized how war transformed village life and agricultural communities. Today the book is valued both as war literature and as a record of the Lincolnshire dialect. Author: Bernard Gilbert Publisher: J.W. Ruddock and Sons.
