Abstract:

JAMAICAN CREOLE, like many other contact languages, has taken its ultimate shape through the course of multi-lingual and multi-cultural influences. From the perspective of contact linguistics, this meticulous study examines Jamaican Creole proverbs in a corpus of over 1090 recorded sayings; it presents a framework of cultural changes in Jamaica accompanied by corresponding linguistic changes in its creole. The analysis clearly demonstrates that despite three centuries of extreme dominance by the British empire, Jamaicans successfully preserved the traditions of their own ancestors. Not only th

Abstract:

As the British empire expanded throughout the world, the English language played an important role in power relations between Britain and its colonies. English was used as a colonizing agent to suppress the indigenous cultures of various peoples and to make them subject to British rule. With the end of World War II, many countries became gradually decolonized, and their indigenous cultures experienced a renaissance. Colonial mores and power systems clashed and combined with indigenous traditions to create postcolonial texts. This volume treats postcoloniality as a process of cultural and lingu

Abstract:

Indigenous words offered a rich resource for rescripting national and colonial narratives in a time of intensified imperial conflict. Millennial zeal pitted Jesuit and Protestant forces against each other with renewed fervor during a purportedly secular period of diplomacy from the Glorious Revolution (1688) to the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), even as developments in natural history undermined previously accepted truths of Mosaic history. The British sought national uniformity by imposing English-language instruction on Indian proselytes, while the French continued to augment their own linguistic

Abstract:

This chapter argues that Herder contributed the fundamental philosophical principles that enabled the birth of two major new academic disciplines that we today take for granted: linguistics and cultural anthropology. In linguistics his principles were especially taken over and developed by Friedrich Schlegel and Wilhelm von Humboldt. In anthropology they were especially taken over and developed by Franz Boas and Bronislaw Malinowski, the founders of American and British anthropology, respectively. Moreover, as in some other areas (such as hermeneutics), his principles not only enabled the birt

Abstract Classics Transformed in Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian Receptions invites readers to view classical antiquity through the lens of the Jewish question in the twentieth century. The volume explores the writings of poets, translators, and scholars in modern Jewish diasporas, Mandatory Palestine under the British Mandate, and the State of Israel, who engaged with Greek and Roman literary precedents. These distinctively geopolitical entities are associated with different textual spaces, which despite their different linguistic trajectories, are inevitably entangled. The volume brings tog

Pakistan: A Very Short Introduction describes Pakistan as one of the two-nation-states of the Indian subcontinent that emerged in 1947. It looks at the ancient past to understand the complex tapestry of linguistic, ethnic, political, and cultural identities and tensions of the region today. The region of the Indus valley has a 4,000-year-old history and is considered the site of one of the earliest riverine civilizations in the world. The modern nation of Pakistan was created as a postcolonial homeland for the Muslims of British India. This VSI also considers the challenges of the 21st century

The development of English-language girls’ schools in Malaya and Singapore began with their origins as providers of social welfare services and was tied to their role in overseas Chinese socioeconomic mobility. This chapter looks at the role of Catholic and Protestant missionaries, particularly the Order of the Infant Jesus, as well as the British administration in founding a large network of English girls’ schools. Although they introduced new possibilities for women, these schools also reinforced imperial hierarchies of gender, class, and race. While significant portions of the overseas Chin

Abstract This volume investigates the reconfigurations of literary traditions coming from Islamicate regions of the world by British orientalists. The book is concerned with the logics of orientalist selection, reconfiguration, and appropriation of Islamicate literary canons, focusing on the period from the endowment of the first Chairs in Arabic at Cambridge and Oxford to the establishment of the Asiatic Society in Calcutta. Contrary to the Saidian premise of an invention of the East by the West, it argues that orientalists did not invent a canon but they transferred and translated texts and

Abstract:

Methodism was originally a loosely connected network of religious clubs, each devoted to promoting holy living among its members. It was part of the Evangelical Revival, a movement of religious ideas which swept across the North Atlantic world in the eighteenth century. This chapter charts the growth and development, character and nature, and consolidation and decline of British Methodism in the nineteenth century from five distinct perspectives. First, Methodism grew rapidly in the early nineteenth century but struggled to channel that enthusiasm in an effective way. As a result, it was beset

Reflecting the current interest in performance, A Companion to the Medieval Theatre presents 250 alphabetically arranged entries offering a panoramic view of European and British theatrical productions between the years 900 and 1550.

Both Britain and the United States have had a long history of harbouring foreign political exiles, who often set up periodicals which significantly contributed to community-building and political debates.

This wide-ranging edited volume brings together for the first time interdisciplinary case studies of the exile foreign-language press (in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Flemish, Polish, among other languages) across Britain and the US, e
