He also has some astute insights into the politics of language in this country--a topic as current now as it was during the period about which he writes."--Shelly Fisher Fishkin, University of Texas, Austin

New. Brand new. Clean, unmarked pages. Fine binding and cover. Softcover. 288 p., 23 cm. "Late-19th-century America was crazy about dialect: vernacular varieties of American English entertained mass audiences in 'local color' stories, in realist novels, and in poems and plays. This text explores the aesthetic politics of the 'cult of vernacular', and reveals the origins of the trend."
