The study of English language and literature in Britain changed
dramatically between the end of the eighteenth century and the
beginning of the twentieth. From Philology to English Studies
explores the contribution of philology to this movement. Haruko
Momma charts both the rise and fall of philology from antiquity to
the late eighteenth century, and the impact of modern philology on
the study of modern languages and literatures. Focusing in detail
on the work of key philologists in the nineteenth century, Momma
considers how they shaped European discourse and especially
vernacular studies in Britain: William Jones's discovery of
Sanskrit in British India gave rise to Indo-European studies; Max
Muller's study of this same language helped spread the Aryan myth
to the English-speaking world; the OED achieved its greatness as a
post-national lexicon under the editorship of James Murray, a
dialectologist originally from Scotland.
