Mr. Gibson’s new work is a tragic drama in blank verse, concerned with three generations of a family of Northumbrian shepherds. The title, ‘Krindlesyke,’ is taken from the name of the lonely cottage on the fells where they live and the incidents of the story pass.
While ‘Krindlesyke’ is not in dialect, it has been flavoured with a sprinkling of local words; but as these are, for the most part, words expressive of emotion, rather than words conveying information, the sense of them should be easily gathered even by the south-country reader.
