Talking Proper by Lynda Mugglestone

Talking Proper by Lynda Mugglestone

This study examines the images and issues implicated in the rise of accent as a symbol of social value and identity in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It looks at popular stereotypes of speech and speaker - such as "educated", "vulgar" and "parvenue" - and focuses on the rise of the idea of a "standard" accent and associated judgements about "good" and "bad" speech. The author shows how these notions were transposed into literature and education, and into contemporary images of gender and class.

Lynda Mugglestone is Fellow in English Language and Literature at Pembroke College, Oxford, and News International Lecturer in Language and Communication. She has written widely on nineteenth-century language and associated issuesDSliterary and linguistic, as well as lexicographic.
