McIntosh, Carey (Hofstra University, New York)
At the beginning of the eighteenth century ordinary written English was close to speech; by 1800, people expressed themselves much more formally, politely and precisely. Using examples from a wide variety of prose writers of the century, Carey McIntosh explains how and why this change occurred.
