''The Poems of John Audelay: A Specimen of the Shropshire Dialect in the Fifteenth Century'' is a book written by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillips in 1844. The book is a collection of poems by John Audelay, a fifteenth-century poet from Shropshire, England. The poems in the book are written in the dialect of Shropshire, which was spoken in the region during the time of Audelay. The book provides a valuable insight into the language and culture of the region during the fifteenth century, and is a valuable resource for historians and linguists interested in the evolution of the English language. The book also includes a detailed introduction by Halliwell-Phillips, which provides background information on Audelay and his work, as well as an analysis of the dialect used in the poems. Overall, ''The Poems of John Audelay'' is a fascinating glimpse into the literary and linguistic history of Shropshire and the English language as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
