1.0 out of 5 stars Justly forgotten author, 12 Oct 2009
By Graham R. Hill "gralhill" (Ilkley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Lancashire Witches (Paperback)
I came across a reference to Ainsworth in the Financial Times and bought this, one of the works most admired during his lifetime, in the hope of discovering a lost masterpiece. Hindsight, being as usual a wonderful thing, makes me realise that there is of course a perfectly good reason why this author has all but disappeared. In fact there are probably many reasons. However, let me just give you two: firstly the turgid, expository writing style full of scenes where lifelong friends greet each other with a long summary of the current political situation and an even longer thesis on the latest theological disputes; secondly the attempted phonetic rendition of what Ainsworth presumably believes was the local dialect around Pendle Hill in the sixteenth century. The first fault renders the whole of the book unreadable for pleasure; the second renders much of it completely unintelligible whatever one's motive.
