This volume of Studies in English Language focuses on the
nineteenth century, an important period of both stability and
change for the English language. Through ten detailed case studies,
it highlights the relationships between English, its users, and
nineteenth-century society, looking particularly at gender
differences and variation across genres. It also discusses major
structural aspects of nineteenth-century English, such as nouns,
verbs and adjectives, and Germanic vs. Romance vocabulary. Although
the nineteenth century is often viewed as a relatively stable
period in the development of the language, this volume shows the
1800s to be a time of significant change, some of which continued
into the twentieth century. By making comparisons possible with
both earlier and later periods, it makes an important contribution
to our overall understanding of the history of the English
language.
