The Grammar of Empire in Eighteenth-Century British Writing
Sorensen, Janet (Indiana University)
This study, first published in 2000, examines the complex role of language as an instrument of empire in eighteenth-century British literature. Focusing on the relationship between England and one of its 'celtic colonies', Scotland, Janet Sorensen examines how the expansion of the British empire influenced the formation of a national standard English.
