Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays on English The American Academy of Arts and Letters accepted in 1917 a fund for the purpose of enabling it "to consider its duty towards the conservation of the English language in its beauty and purity"; and the Academy held several meetings to discover what its duty might be. At these meetings it was made evident that many, if not most, of those present were of opinion that the condition of our noble tongue was alarming and that this condition was perhaps even more alarming in the United States than it was in Great Britain. One of those who contributed to the discussion went so far as to suggest that English as spoken and as written here in the United States had entered on a period of degeneracy not unlike that which befel Greek in the days of its decadence in what is known as the Hellenistic era.
