Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical evolution of English philology, tracing its roots back to the Victorian era. The author argues that philology, once narrowly defined as the study of language, has broadened to encompass a wide range of topics, including literature, history, and culture. This shift has been driven by the recognition that language is not merely a tool for communication but also a reflection of the human experience. The book examines the work of key figures in the development of English philology, such as George Saintsbury and F. J. Furnivall, and analyzes the ways in which their ideas have shaped the field. By situating English philology within its broader intellectual and cultural context, the author sheds light on its significance as a discipline that illuminates our understanding of the human condition.
