Résumé

In "Americanisms and Briticisms; with Other Essays on Other Isms, " Brander Matthews embarks on a meticulous exploration of the linguistic and cultural distinctions between American and British English. Matthews employs a blend of erudite analysis and witty commentary, reflecting the transitional period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the context of a rapidly changing America asserting its identity.
The essays navigate an array of topics, from the evolution of colloquialisms to the implications of language on national identity, offering readers a rich tapestry of sociolinguistic insight framed within a humorous yet scholarly narrative. Brander Matthews, a seminal figure in American literature and drama, served as an early advocate for the recognition of a distinct American literary voice. His deep engagement with language and culture, alongside his role in literary circles and academic institutions, enriched his understanding of the interplay between language and identity.
Matthews'Äô own experiences, both as a transatlantic traveler and a studious observer of societal trends, shape the narrative's authenticity and vigor. This book is highly recommended for linguists, cultural historians, and general readers interested in the nuances of language as a marker of identity. Matthews' keen insights and engaging prose provide not just an academic examination, but also a delightful cultural commentary that resonates with contemporary discussions on language and identity.
