Description
The premise of Chittick's study is that the national discourse found in British periodical literature of 1802-30 is crucial to an understanding of the literary language of the era.
Reviews'draws out important themes that engaged writers and politicians during the early nineteenth century, and Chittick makes a useful contribution by exploring how they adapted language to the demands of a turbulent era.' Journal of British Studies
