Strange Talk explores America's fascination with dialect--and the perceptions and politics of dialect--near the turn of the 20th century. From Mark Twain to Henry James to Melville, Strange Talk shows how the culture and politics of dialect contributed to a fear of social contamination, but more importantly, how literature cast new light on racial oppression.
