Pure Saxon English: Or Americans To The Front (1890)

By Elias Molee

Book Overview

""Pure Saxon English: Or Americans To The Front"" is a book written by Elias Molee and published in 1890. The book is a call to action for Americans to embrace the English language in its purest form, as spoken by the Anglo-Saxon people. Molee argues that the English language has been corrupted by foreign influences and that Americans must reclaim their linguistic heritage in order to preserve their cultural identity. The book is written in a highly polemical style, with Molee railing against the use of non-Anglo-Saxon words and phrases, and advocating for a return to a simpler, more straightforward form of English. Despite its controversial nature, ""Pure Saxon English"" was widely read and discussed in its time, and remains an important historical document in the history of American language and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
