This volume examines a fundamental concept of language within a
historical perspective. The concept is that of public and private
communication, the historical period ranges from the late middle
ages to the late modern, and the language is English. In short,
what are the linguistic traits, discursive practices, communicative
settings and intentions which identify and contrast public from
private communication, supposing it is possible to make such a fine
distinction?The volume contains contributions from top
international scholars working in the fields of, for example,
historical correspondence, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
print news, sixteenth-century liturgy and political discourse, the
language of quack doctors, late modern travel writing, personal
notebooks, and even the eighteenth-century public discourse of
shopping.As this ground-breaking volume is not just about key
concepts in the history of the English language, but also examines
at a more general level the concept of private and public
communication, the various chapters will interest scholars working
in language and communication generally as well as English
historical discourse.
