Hannah Crawforth shows how early modern writers were acutely attuned to the religious and political implications of the etymology of English words. She argues that these lexically astute writers actively engaged with the lexicographers, Anglo-Saxonists and etymologists who were carrying out a national project to recover, or invent, the origins of English, at a time when the question of a national vernacular was inseparable from that of national identity. English words are deployed to particular effect - as a polemical weapon, allegorical device, coded form of communication, type of historical allusion or political tool. Drawing together early modern literature and linguistics, Crawforth argues that the history of English as it was studied in the period radically underpins the writing of its greatest poets.Etymology & the invention of English in early modern literatureEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismEnglish languageEarly modern, 1500-1700EtymologyPoeticsEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.English languageEtymology.Poetics.820.9/357Crawforth Hannah Jane1980-1633974UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910824016203321Etymology and the invention of English in early modern literature3973995UNINA
