Accented America: The Cultural Politics of Multilingual Modernism (Modernist Literature and Culture),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
American literary works written in the heyday of modernism between the 1890s and 1940s were playfully, painfully, and ambivalently engaged with language politics. The immigrant waves of the period fed into writers' aesthetic experimentation; their works, in turn, rewired ideas about national identity along with literary form. Accented America looks at the long history of EnglishOnly Americanismthe political claim that U.S. citizens must speak a singular, shared American tongueand traces its action in the language workshop that is literature. The broadly multiethnic set of writers brought into conversation hereincluding Gertrude Stein, Jean Toomer, Henry Roth, Nella Larsen, John Dos Passos, Lionel Trilling, Amrico Paredes, and Carlos Bulosanreflect the massive demographic shifts taking place during the interwar years. These authors share an acute awareness of linguistic standardization while also following the defamiliarizing sway produced by experimentation with invented and improper literary vernaculars. Rather than confirming the powerfully seductive subtext of monolingualismthat those who speak alike are ethically and politically likemindedmultilingual modernists compose literature that speaks to a country of synthetic syntaxes, singular hybrids, and enduring strangeness.
