Miriam: A Tale of Pole Moor and the Greenfield Hills
Produced by John Parkinson
"Miriam: A Tale of Pole Moor and the Greenfield Hills" by D. F. E. Sykes is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in the early 19th century, specifically around 1832, and explores life in Yorkshire, focusing on the complex interactions between local residents and a community of Romany gypsies known as the Burnplatters. The story is anchored by the character Miriam, offering insights into her life along with the perspectives of other protagonists entwined in the tale. The opening of the novel introduces the context of the Saddleworth Wakes, a local event set against a backdrop of moorland life. It features characters such as Abel, who navigates his relationship with his friend Jim, and their interactions highlight their humble origins and social aspirations. The scene is vibrant with local dialect, capturing the essence of the community's dynamics and setting the tone for the conflicts and relationships that will unfold throughout the story. The introduction of the Burnplatters adds an intriguing layer, suggesting tensions between different social groups, particularly revolving around themes of love, tradition, and survival in an evolving landscape.
