Book Description:

Accented America is a sweeping study of U.S. literature between 1890-1950 that reveals a long history of English-Only nationalism: the political claim that U.S. citizens must speak a nationally distinctive form of English. This perspective presents U.S. literary works as playfully, painfully, and ambivalently engaged with language politics, thereby rewiring both narrative form and national identity.
