During this era, a standard form of English was taught in the British provinces just as it was increasingly exported from the British Isles to colonial outposts in North America, the Caribbean, South Asia, Oceania, and West Africa. Under these conditions, a monolingual politics of Standard English came to obscure other forms of multilingual and dialect writing, forms of writing that were made to appear as inferior, provincial, or foreign oddities. Daniel DeWispelare's Multilingual Subjects at once documents how different varieties of English became sidelined as "dialects" and asserts the importance of both multilingualism and dialect writing to eighteenth-century anglophone culture. By looking at the lives of a variety of multilingual and nonstandard speakers and writers who have rarely been discussed together-individuals ranging from slaves and indentured servants to translators, rural dialect speakers, and others-DeWispelare suggests that these language practices were tremendously valuable to the development of anglophone literary aesthetics even as Standard English became dominant throughout the ever-expanding English-speaking world. 606 $aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects$zEnglish-speaking countries$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aMultilingualism$zEnglish-speaking countries$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJdmp7p3cx8hpmJ8HvmTpP 607 $aEnglish-speaking countries$2fast 608 $aHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMultilingualism$xHistory 676 $a306.442/21 686 $aHF 510$2rvk 700 $aDeWispelare$b Daniel 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911138150103321 997 $aUNINA
