Descrizione Representative Words
Ralph Waldo Emerson's dictum 'The corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language' belongs to a long tradition of writing connecting political disorders and the corruption of language that stretches back in Western culture. Thomas Gustafson examines how and why Americans renewed and developed this tradition between the ages of the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars.
