Samantha Gilmore and Matt Cohen recently published a review essay titled “Why Can’t the English Teach Their Children How to Speak?” in The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation 61.4 (Winter 2020): 525-531. (Yes, 2020–but what is time, really?)
The essay assesses Ezra Tawil’s ambitious 2018 book, Literature, American Style: The Originality of Imitation in the Early Republic.
