Description of Strange Talk
Late-19th-century America was crazy about dialect: vernacular varieties of American English entertained mass audiences in "local color" stories, in realist novels, and in poems and plays. This text explores the aesthetic politics of the "cult of vernacular", and reveals the origins of the trend.
