ENGL 20211 - Romantic Vernaculars

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

We read a number of texts from late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain that experiment with different registers and dialects of English, self-consciously toying with the boundary between vernacular and literary language. These writers were preoccupied with the choice of a language, and our discussions focus on how that can be a political and ideological choice, as well as an aesthetic one. E. Ponder. Autumn.
