Named a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2009
"Romanticism and the Rise of English" addresses a peculiar
development in contemporary literary criticism: the disappearance
of the history of the English language as a relevant topic.
Elfenbein argues for a return not to older modes of criticism, but
to questions about the relation between literature and language
that have vanished from contemporary investigation. His book is an
example of a kind of work that has often been called for but rarely
realized--a social philology that takes seriously the formal and
institutional forces shaping the production of English. This
results not only in a history of English, but also in a recovery of
major events shaping English studies as a coherent discipline. This
book points to new directions in literary criticism by arguing for
the need to reconceptualize authorial agency in light of a
broadened understanding of linguistic history.
