Modern Philology (Volume X) 1912-1913

By John Matthews Manly

Modern Philology (Volume X) 1912-1913 offers a vivid window into the scholarly craft of language at a pivotal moment in academic history. A landmark collection for scholars. This philology journal collection, associated with John M. Manly, gathers rigorous essays, notes and reviews that mark the concerns of early 20th century literature and the evolving methods of linguistic inquiry. Comparative philology essays sit alongside close readings and literary criticism volume pieces; together they compose a linguistic research anthology that balances archival exactitude with argumentative clarity. Readers exploring English language history, historical language studies or classical studies resource questions will find measured argument and careful documentation which still inform contemporary debates. The material is sympathetic to classroom use: a solid academic reference for scholars and a practical supplement to a university language curriculum, yet the variety of short studies, reviews and polemical fragments also rewards the curious non-specialist. Its meticulous notes and bibliographic traces reveal how evidence was marshalled, making it a vivid teaching tool for seminars on method and a valuable node inside a broader scholarly book series documenting the discipline's growth. Literary and historical significance is plain: the volume records debates, documents methodology, and preserves the scholarly vocabulary of 1912-1913 academic publication, making it a primary source for researchers of language, literature and intellectual history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Equally at home on a research shelf or a private collection, it appeals both to casual readers drawn to historical ideas and to classic-literature collectors assembling a purposeful, scholarly book series; instructors will find selections ready for close-class study, while bibliographers and lexicographers will value the record of citation and usage. Ideal for assembling a curated reference shelf today.
