With its interdisciplinary examination of racialized literary dialect in imperial contexts, Brown's study makes crucial and needed contributions to both linguistic and literary studies.' Taryn Hakala, University of California, Merced 'Overall, this is an insightful study, just as much from the point of view of the methodology employed as well as with regard to the insights concerning the features used in literary texts to portray the speech patterns of colonial subjects and how these reflect attitudes and stereotypes of society at large ... Linguists will benefit from the detailed descriptions and evaluations of the 'digital toolkit' and literary scholars will benefit from looking at corpus patterns and wider contexts of literary texts if they give it a go.' Andrea Sand, Anglia Author InformationDavid West Brown is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Marymount University, Virginia.
